We’ve spent a lot of ink (digits?  Pixels?) in the Daily Dawg lately on Title IX.  Today a short reminder.  What are the first two words you should say when someone comes into your office and says “I want to make a report of sexual harassment”?  No….not the first two words you are thinking.  Try these two instead:

“THANK YOU.” 

You should start by saying THANK YOU.  That’s a good start toward showing that the district disapproves of sexual harassment and seeks to eliminate it.  It indicates that you understand that sexual harassment is a cancer that feeds on silence.  So when someone speaks up about it, they are doing the district a service.  So say THANK YOU.

DAWG BONE: YOUR FIRST TWO WORDS: THANK YOU!!
