(An eligible student under FERPA is a student who is 18 years of age or older or who attends a postsecondary institution). These rights include: The right to inspect and review the student s education records within 45 days after the day the Alliance Career Centre receives a request for access. A student should submit to the Adult Career Center office a written request that identifies the record(s) that student wishes to inspect. The school official will make arrangements for access and notify the student of the time and place where the records may be inspected. The right to request the amendment of the student s education records that the student believes are inaccurate, misleading, or otherwise in violation of the student s privacy rights under FERPA. A student who wishes to ask the school to amend a record should write the Adult Career Center Supervisor clearly identifying the part of the record the student wants changed and specify why it should be changed. If the school decides not to amend the record as requested, the school would notify the student in writing of the decision and the student s rights to a hearing regarding the request for amendment. Additional information regarding the hearing procedures will be provided to the student when notified of the right to a hearing. The right to provide written consent before the school discloses personally identifiable information (PII) from the student s education records, except to the extent that FERPA authorizes disclosure without consent. The school discloses education records without a student s prior written consent under the FERPA exception for disclosure to school officials with legitimate educational interests. A school official is a person employed by the Alliance Career Centre as an administrative, supervisory, academic, research, or support staff position; a person serving on the board of trustees; and health staff. A school official has a legitimate educational interest if the official needs to review the education record in order to fulfill his or her professional responsibilities for the Alliance Career Centre. The right to file a complaint with the U.S. Department of Education concerning alleged failures by the Alliance Career Centre to comply with the requirements of FERPA. The name and address of the Office that administers FERPA is: Family Policy Compliance Office U.S. Department of Education 400 Maryland Avenue, SW Washington, DC Disclosure without Consent FERPA permits the disclosure of Personally Identifiable Information from students education records, without consent of the student if the disclosure meets certain conditions found in of the FERPA regulations. Except for disclosures to school officials, disclosures related to some judicial orders or lawfully issued subpoenas, disclosures of directory information, and disclosures of the student, of FERPA regulations requires the institution to record the disclosure. Eligible students have a right to inspect and review the record of the disclosures. A postsecondary institution may disclose PII from the education records without obtaining prior written consent of the student To other school officials, including teachers, within the Alliance Career Centre whom the school has determined to have legitimate educational interests; To officials of another school where the student seeks or intends to enroll, or where the student is already enrolled in the disclosure is for purposes related to the student s enrollment or transfer; To authorized representatives of the U.S. Comptroller General, the U.S. Attorney General, the U.S. Secretary of Education, or State and local educational authorities; In connection with financial aid for which the student has applied or which the student has received, if the information is necessary to determine eligibility for the aid, determine the amount of the aid, determine the conditions of the aid, or enforce the terms and conditions of the aid; To accrediting organizations to carry out their accrediting functions; To parents of an eligible student if the student is a dependent for IRS tax purposes; To parents if a health or safety emergency involves their son or daughter; To appropriate officials in connection with a health or safety emergency; To comply with judicial order or lawfully issued subpoena; Information the school has designated as directory information.

47 AcademicCatalogandStudentHandbook PoliciesandProcedures SEXUAL ASSAULT, SEXUAL HARASSMENT, STALKING, DOMESTIC VIOLENCE, DATING VIOLENCE All persons associated with the District, including, but not limited to, the Board, the administration, the staff and the students, are expected to conduct themselves at all times so as to provide an atmosphere free from incidents of sexual assault, sexual harassment, stalking, domestic violence and dating violence. Any incident, whether verbal or nonverbal, occurring inside or outside of District buildings, on other District-owned property or at school-sponsored social functions/activities, is illegal and unacceptable and will not be tolerated. Any person who engages in an incident while acting as a member of the school community is in violation of this policy. The Board has developed complaint procedures, which are available to every member of the school community. The Board has also identified disciplinary penalties, which could be imposed on the offenders. If you are a victim of a sexual assault, sexual harassment, stalking, domestic violence or dating violence at this institution, your first priority should be to get to a place of safety. You should obtain the necessary medical treatment even if you do not intend to report the assault. Prior to medical treatment/exam it is important not to bathe, shower, change one s clothes or disturb anything at the crime scene. The Adult Career Center strongly advocates that a victim or witness of any incident report the incident in a timely manner. Time is a critical factor for evidence collection and preservation. An incident should be reported directly to the program coordinator or adult supervisor who will assist the victim in reporting the incident to the Director. Filing a report with the Director will not obligate the victim to notify law enforcement authorities, prosecute, nor will it subject the victim to scrutiny or judgmental opinions from the school. When a report is filed the ACC will provide the victim with a written explanation of his/her rights, resources and options. The school will assist a victim/survivor in notifying the proper law enforcement authorities if requested. Filing a police report will: a. Ensure that a victim receives the necessary medical treatment and tests. b. Provide the opportunity for preservation and collection of evidence helpful in prosecution, which cannot be obtained later. c. Assure the victim has access to confidential counseling from counselors specifically trained in the area of crisis intervention. Victims or witnesses of sexual assault, domestic violence or dating violence should take steps to preserve evidence that may aid in obtaining a protective order or any administrative action and/or criminal prosecution that may result. Items that may serve as evidence include, but are not limited to: voice mails, s, text messages, social media messaging, notes, or other correspondence that may be relevant. Depending on the situation, clothing worn by the victim and/or the accused may also be needed as evidence and should be preserved in its original state. Do not disturb the scene of the incident, as police may want to photograph the scene. Protective Order For more information on obtaining an Order of Protection visit the Alliance City Police Department resource page at Institutional Response to a Reported Sexual Assault, Sexual Harassment, Stalking, Domestic Violence or Dating Violence Upon receiving information regarding sexual assault, stalking, domestic or dating violence, the Career Center may offer support to the victim, share options with the victim, encourage the victim to seek medical attention and/or counseling, and/or encourage the victim to file reports with the appropriate law enforcement authority. The Adult Career Center will follow up with reports of alleged misconduct that are brought to the attention of school officials in accordance with prescribed policies and the Student Code of Conduct. Alleged victims will be asked to provide information regarding the allegation. Whether the offense occurred on or off-campus, Career Center officials will provide the victim with a written explanation of his/her rights, resources and options. When the Director is contacted, the Director will assist the victim in notifying local law enforcement authorities if the victim so chooses. The victim may choose for the investigation to be pursued through the criminal justice system. Law enforcement officers will guide the victim through the available options and support the victim in his or her decision. All matters in regard to an incident, including the identity of both the charging party and the accused, are kept confidential to the extent possible. Assistance will be made available in changing academic or externship situations after an alleged incident, if requested by the victim and if these changes are reasonably available regardless of whether or not the victim chooses to report the crime to local law enforcement. Students wishing to exercise this option should contact their program coordinator. In addition to any criminal or civil remedies available under the law, any act of dating violence, domestic violence or stalking is a violation of and is subject to disciplinary proceedings under the ACC s Student Code of Conduct. The range of penalties shall include, but are not limited to: alteration of program schedule and/or externship site, loss of privilege, restitution for school property and damages, suspension, and termination. The ACC disciplinary action proceedings shall provide a prompt, fair, and impartial investigation and resolution. The Director is vested with the authority and responsibility for investigating all complaints in accordance with the procedures set forth by the Alliance City Schools Career Centre District. The accuser and the accused are entitled to the same opportunities to have others present during a disciplinary proceeding. Both the accuser and the accused will be simultaneously informed in writing of the outcome of any institutional disciplinary proceeding. The accused and the accuser may appeal the results of the institutional disciplinary proceeding in writing to the Director. Both the accuser and the accused will be informed of any change to the results that occur prior to the results becoming final and will be notified in writing when the results are final. Although discipline may be imposed against the accused upon finding guilt, retaliation is prohibited. Retaliation against a victim or any other party involved in submitting a report is prohibited and the Adult Career Center will respond to allegations of this type of behavior. Students are strongly encouraged to notify the adult administrator should this behavior occur. The Campus Sex Crimes Prevention Act (CSCPA) of 2000 is a federal law that provides for the tracking of convicted sex offenders enrolled at, or employed by institutions of higher education. Federal law requires state law enforcement agencies to provide institutions of higher education with a list of registered sex offenders who indicate that they are enrolled at or employed by those institutions. This is available from the Transitions Coordinator. In addition, information on registered sex offenders is available at AllianceCareerCentre 47

48 PoliciesandProcedures AcademicCatalogandStudentHandbook The CSCPA further amends the Family Educational Rights and privacy Act of 1974 (FERPA) to clarify that nothing in the Act can prohibit an educational institution from disclosing information provided to the institution concerning registered sex offenders. This statement is provided in compliance with the Campus Sex Crimes Prevention Act of Definitions Consent to Sexual Activity: Means actual agreement rather than merely submitting as the result of force or the threat of force. Sexual Assault: Means an offense classified as a forcible or non-forcible sex offense under the uniform crime reporting system of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. A sexual assault is any form of non-consensual sexual activity. Sexual assault includes all unwanted sexual acts from intimidation to touching to various forms of penetration and rape. Sexual Harassment: Sexual harassment includes unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other physical or verbal conduct of a sexual nature when it meets any of the following: submission to such conduct is made either explicitly or implicitly a term or condition of an individual s employment or academic status; submission to or rejection of such conduct by an individual is used as the basis for employment or academic decisions affecting such individual; such conduct has the purpose or effect of unreasonably interfering with an individual s work or academic performance or creating an intimidating, hostile, or offensive environment for working or learning. Stalking: Means engaging in a course of conduct directed at a specific person that would cause a reasonable person to: fear for his or her safety or the safety of others; or suffer substantial emotional distress. In Ohio, stalking is defined as a pattern of conduct (two or more incidents in a short period of time) that is unwanted and causes mental distress. A broader definition of stalking: stalking is willful, malicious and repeated harassing or threatening of another person through activities such as following the individual, showing up at her/his home or workplace, sending unwanted messages (including or text messages) or objects, vandalizing property or making harassing phone calls. Telecommunications harassment (sometimes called "cyber stalking") is a crime under Ohio law. It is the use of , Internet, instant messaging, social media, or other electronic devices to harass or abuse another person. Domestic violence: Means a felony or misdemeanor crime of violence committed by: a current or former spouse or intimate partner of the victim; a person with whom the victim shares a child in common; a person who is cohabitating with or has cohabitated with the victim as a spouse or intimate partner, a person similarly situated to a spouse of the victim under the domestic or family violence laws of the jurisdiction receiving grant monies; or any other person against an adult or youth victim who is protected from that person s acts under the domestic or family violence laws of the jurisdiction.
