The Henry County Board of Education has revised its policy regarding sexual harassment, and a new version is currently out for public review and comment.
The action is in response to new regulations pertaining to Title IX that were published May 6 by the U.S. Department of Education and go into effect in August. The board was notified by district staff at its May 26 special called meeting that the new policy is on the district’s website until June 5 and will be presented for adoption at the board’s June 8 business meeting.
The changes deal with a reset of the definition of sexual harassment as well as the process that must take place once a claim is put in motion, one of the board’s attorneys stated at the meeting.
