Requisition Process 7.31.24

The Anoka-Hennepin School District prohibits harassment, violence, discrimination and bullying in all forms, including on the basis of a person's actual or perceived race, color, creed, religion, national origin, sex/gender (including harassment based on gender identity and expression), marital status, disability, status with regard to public assistance, sexual orientation, age, family care leave status or veteran status.

If you or someone you know has experienced harassment, violence, discrimination, or bullying at school or at any school-related event for any reason, you may make a report to have the incident(s) investigated by the district. Any student, parent/guardian, or district employee may complete this form and return it to any administrator, counselor, or student services advocate.

Alternatively, you may make a verbal or other written report to an administrator, counselor, or student services advocate. Any district employee who receives a completed report form or any other written or verbal report will immediately notify the complaint to the school principal or title IX/equity coordinator of the report, who will designate the person to investigate and resolve the report pursuant to the district's policies and federal and state laws.

The district will not disclose the identity of any individual who makes a report, except to the district personnel designated to investigate the report or as required by law. Retaliation against any individual who makes a report or who participates or assists in an investigation of harassment, violence, discrimination, or bullying is strictly prohibited.

Use the online staff harassment, violence, or discrimination report form.
