Sexual Harassment in Jackson Florida and The Florida School for the Deaf and the Blind
             Both the School District of Jacksonville Florida and the Florida School for the Deaf and the Blind have a zero tolerance policy on sexual harassment. Unfortunately, sexual harassment is a thing, which all schools must deal with, and these two school districts make sure to not tolerate acts of sexual harassment and to discipline those involved within them. Both schools have a stiff policy on dealing with such events, however, the Florida School for the Deaf and the Blind has more options for student reaction to such charges than normal public schools. There are several different discipline procedures, which are similar between the two school districts, but Jacksonville has fewer options for those charged with such violations.
             Sexual harassment consists of any form of sexual favors, unwanted sexual attention, indecent sexual behavior of both verbal and nonverbal nature, pressure for sexual acts, sexual graphics, and the affect of grades and student standings based on sexual favors. Jacksonville school districts consider sexual harassment a form of discrimination under the Florida Public Officers, Employees, and Records Code Section 110.1221- State Employment-Sexual Harassment Policy. This section of the Florida statute states that sexual harassment is in fact a form of discrimination. It also states that the Federal definition of sexual harassment shall be used as the Florida statue for such an offense. The Florida School for the Deaf and the Blind also considers sexual harassment a form of sexual discrimination. Under the Title IX of the Education Amendment of 1972, no program receiving Federal funding can tolerate any form of discrimination, including sexual harassment. Therefore, the Florida School for the Deaf and the Blind cannot tolerate any form of sexual harassment from either its staff or its students.
