About this title

From Booklist:

Layman is now an attorney with South Carolina's Department of Health and Environmental Control, but she taught high-school English for 23 years before heading off to law school, so she brings to this guidebook practical experience as well as professional expertise. Her guide defines sexual harassment and its consequences, analyzes various state and federal statutes relevant to sexual harassment issues in secondary schools, and outlines a variety of positive steps that schools can take: first to prevent harassment and then to deal with alleged incidents of sexual harassment. Layman argues cogently for preventing secondary-school sexual harassment--not merely in order to avoid legal liability but also in order to maximize the achievements of students, teachers, and administrators, who would, in the absence of preventive programs, be the victims of this harassment.
