Notice or complaints of discrimination, harassment, and/or retaliation in violation of this Policy may be made using any of the following options:
1) File a complaint with, or give verbal notice to the Title IX Coordinator. Such a report may be made at any time (including during non-business hours) by using the email address, or by mail to the Title IX Coordinator or any other official listed.
2) Report online, using the reporting form posted at https://compliance.jordandistrict.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/47/041_Title-IX-Formal-Complaint-Form.pdf. Anonymous reports are accepted and can give rise to a need to investigate. The District tries to provide supportive measures to all Parties, which is impossible with an anonymous report when the name of the Complainant is not shared in the report. Since anonymous reporting carries no obligation to initiate a formal response and since the District respects a Complainant’s requests to dismiss complaints, unless there is a compelling threat to health and/or safety.
A formal complaint is a document filed and signed by the Complainant or signed by the Title IX Coordinator alleging a policy violation by a Respondent and requesting that the District investigate the allegation(s). A complaint may be filed with the Title IX Coordinator in person, by mail, or by electronic mail, by using the contact information in the section immediately above, or as described in this section. As used in this paragraph, the phrase “document filed by a Complainant” means a document or electronic submission (such as by electronic mail or through an online portal provided for this purpose by the District ) that contains the Complainant’s physical or digital signature, which can include the Complainant’s name on the email, or otherwise indicates that the Complainant is the person filing the complaint.
The Title IX Coordinator will contact the Complainant regarding any notice that is submitted in a form that does not comply with these requirements to ensure that it is filed correctly.
Contacting Law Enforcement
The Jordan School District encourages reports of criminal behavior to be made with local law enforcement in addition to contacting the Title IX/504 Coordinator. Law enforcement agencies can provide you with a wide range of services.
Provide access to:
Medical assistance
Protective measures
Victim advocate services
Counseling
Additional services:
Respond to concerns for personal safety
Share personal safety strategies
Initiate a criminal investigation
Explain how to obtain an order of protection or injunction against harassment
Answer questions about the criminal process
A criminal investigation also affords additional rights to victims. Working with local law enforcement complements an administrative investigation. The District can only influence the employment and enrollment status and standing of an individual. Local law enforcement can make sure that community members, vendors, students, or employees do not continue harmful behavior in the community setting. The District will enforce any court orders and collaborate with local law enforcement during investigations. In most cases, an administrative investigation will be completed prior to a criminal investigation.
As mandatory reporters, the District will report criminal behavior to its School Resources Officer (SRO), to local law enforcement, or other governmental agency with jurisdiction in this regard.
