Anti-Harassment

Non Discrimination and Anti Harassment Statement

Noblesville Schools is committed to preventing workplace violence and to maintaining a safe work environment.  Given the increasing violence in society in general, Noblesville Schools has adopted the following guidelines to deal with intimidation, harassment, or other threats of (or actual) violence that may occur during business hours or on its premises.

All employees should be treated with courtesy and respect at all times.  Employees are expected to refrain from fighting, “horseplay,” or other conduct that may be dangerous to others.  Firearms, weapons, and other hazardous devices or substances are prohibited from the premises of Noblesville Schools without proper authorization.

Conduct that threatens, intimidates, or coerces another employee, a student, or a member of the public at any time, including off-duty periods, will not be tolerated.  This prohibition includes all acts of harassment, including harassment that is based on an individual’s race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, veteran status, genetic information, or any characteristic protected by federal, state, or local law.

All threats of (or actual) violence, both direct and indirect, should be reported as soon as possible to the employee’s immediate supervisor, building administrator, Assistant Superintendent of HR/Safety or any other appropriate Corporation official.  This includes threats by employees, as well as threats by students, vendors, solicitors, or other members of the public.  When reporting a threat of violence, employees should be as specific and detailed as possible.

The School Corporation has designated staff members as coordinators of non-discrimination and anti-harassment.  The identity and contact information for these staff members are listed below.

Reports will be investigated consistent with board policy (Policy A100), including a prompt investigation. 

Retaliation of any kind against persons who report allegations of discrimination, or participate in the investigation process, is strictly prohibited and will not be tolerated. Retaliation could result in discipline, up to and including employee discharge or student expulsion.
