Title IX
Title IX Policy Prohibiting Sexual Discrimination
Canterbury School prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in its learning and work environment. Sexual harassment, which includes sexual assault, stalking, dating violence, and other types of sexual misconduct prohibited by law, is a form of sex discrimination. Canterbury School also prohibits retaliation against individuals who utilize or participate in the implementation of this policy. Sanctions for individuals found responsible for prohibited behavior depend on the circumstances but can range from educational counseling, to statements of apology, to separation from the School.

Responsible employees who witness or otherwise become aware of behavior that violates this policy have a duty to report such behavior to the Title IX Coordinator. The Title IX Coordinator will assist parties to understand the School’s procedures and to resolve the complaint in a prompt and equitable manner.
