FAQs: About Safe School Policies


May 23, 2002

This fact sheet is designed to address many of the frequently asked questions about how schools can best protect lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) students from harassment and discrimination and, at the same time, protect themselves from additional potential liability.

The questions in the PDF to the right will address existing legal obligations under federal law; why having an inclusive anti-harassment policy helps school fulfill their legal obligations; how to draft the most effective policy or law; concerns about liability; and ways to respond to objections to the proposed policy or bill.
