Student Sexual Harassment Policy

Sexual harassment of or by any student or member of The Palmdale Aerospace Academy (the
“School” or “Academy”) staff shall not be tolerated. The Governing Board considers sexual
harassment to be a major offense, which may result in disciplinary action, including dismissal or
expulsion, of the offending student or staff member, or other appropriate sanction.

Unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical conduct of
a sexual nature constitute sexual harassment when it interferes with an individual’s performance
at school and/or creates an intimidating, hostile or offensive educational environment. The
conduct described above is also sexual harassment when submission to it is made either
explicitly or implicitly a term or condition of an individual’s access to education.

Sexual harassment regulated by this policy pertains to behavior of a sexual nature while students
are under the jurisdiction of the School.

Students may receive age-appropriate training and/or instruction on the prohibition of sexual
harassment at the School. Copies of this policy, implementing administrative regulations
containing rules and procedures for reporting charges of sexual harassment and for pursuing
available remedies shall be available at the School’s Administrative Office.

Any student who believes that he or she has been harassed or has witnessed sexual harassment is
encouraged to immediately report such incident to his or her teacher or to the School’s Sexual
Harassment Investigator. The Investigator will promptly investigate all such incidents in a
confidential manner. The contact information for the Sexual Harassment Investigator is as follows:
