Alliance for Girls & Teens Develop New Sexual Harassment Policy for Oakland Schools
CBS/KPIX 5 reported on the progress of a new student-driven sexual harassment policy that was presented to the Oakland Unified School District (OUSD) School Board on May 24th. The new policy proposes major changes to OUSD's existing sexual harassment policy by taking a victim-centered approach, including having the district provide support to the victim through the entire process and getting rid of language that suggests that a victim may be penalized for reporting sexual harassment.
KCBS Radio also aired several clips about the new policy, interviewing student Mikaela Galvis-Venegas of Street Academy, alumna Kiah Killens of MetWest High School and Alliance for Girls Executive Director Emma Mayerson. Clips below:
