Which office provides guidance on sexual harassment complaints and investigations within the district?

• A. The Local District Superintendent
• B. The School Principal
• C. The Office of General Counsel
• D. The Educational Equity Compliance Office

Answer: (D)

The key point is that district-wide guidance on sexual harassment complaints and investigations is handled by the Educational Equity Compliance Office. This office is tasked with developing and sharing policies and procedures, guiding how investigations are conducted, and ensuring consistency and compliance across all schools—often covering Title IX and related anti-discrimination requirements. The Local District Superintendent and School Principal oversee day-to-day operations and school-level matters, not the centralized framework for harassment guidance. The Office of General Counsel provides legal advice, but the formal guidance and coordination of investigations across the district come from the Educational Equity Compliance Office.
