Safe School Policy

 

New Beginnings Family Academy is committed to promoting a safe, positive learning environment for children and adults. New Beginnings Family Academy believes that every student has the right to learn and every employee the right to work in an environment free from intimidation and harassment because of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, marital status, citizenship, ancestry, present or past history of mental disorder, learning disability, physical disability, age or any other basis protected by federal or state law.  It is the policy of NBFA to maintain an environment free from harassment, insults or intimidation.  ALL SUCH HARASSMENT IS UNLAWFUL AND IN VIOLATION OF NBFA POLICY.  NBFA will not tolerate any conduct or speech in violation of this policy.

Any person who is aware of an incident of harassment, cyber-harassment, bullying,  intimidation or retaliation should promptly report it to the appropriate school Title IX Investigator. The claim will be promptly investigated and forwarded to the School's Title IX Coordinator/Decision Maker.

Reports will be received on a strictly confidential basis. Although disclosure of the identity of a person who has made a report might, at times, be required for the continuation of an investigation, no such disclosure will occur—unless required by law—without that person’s express consent.

Any investigation of a report of harassment, cyber-harassment, intimidation or retaliation will be conducted by Laura Varrone ([email protected]), Title IX Investigator of student-related complaints, or Millie Morales ([email protected]), Title VI and Title IX Investigator of employee-related complaints.
