Growing grassroots movements confronting school sex assault
By JUSTIN PRITCHARD,
GILLIAN FLACCUS
and REESE DUNKLIN
Associated Press
FOREST GROVE — A
pair of Oregon school districts
were intent on identifying
warning signs that students
might be contemplating a
campus shooting when they
stumbled on a threat far more
pervasive yet much less
discussed — sexual aggres-
sion among classmates.
So the districts adapted
the same early-intervention
approach used to handle
potential school shooters:
Based on observations or tips,
staff now quietly keep an eye
on kids they worry are sexu-
ally aggressive. The school
enlists parents to understand
why the child is acting out
and intervenes if behavior
threatens to escalate, whether
the student is a kindergartener
or about to graduate.
This awakening puts the
districts at the forefront of
grassroots efforts to grapple
with a sensitive and complex
challenge that elementary and
secondary schools mostly
avoid.
A yearlong Associated
Press investigation uncovered
about 17,000 official reports
of sexual assaults by students
over a recent four-year period,
a figure that doesn’t fully
capture the problem because
such violence is greatly
under-reported and some
states don’t track it. There is no
K-12 equivalent to the federal
law that requires colleges to
track sexual assaults, provide
services to victims and devise
prevention programs.
The AP also found that only

In this May 15 photo, Shawnee Mission East High School seniors from left, Katie
Kuhlman, Katherine Crossette, Natalie Roth, Hannah Breckenridge, Kendall Dunbar,
Ireland Hague and Brena Levy stand for a photo in front of their campus in Prairie
Village, Kan. The friends organized a campaign to wear black clothing to class in
hopes of drawing attention to the issue of school sexual assault after a girl reported
being attacked by a male student in a bathroom the previous fall.
18 states required training for
teachers, school administra-
tors or students focused on
peer-on-peer sexual assaults.
To fill the void, technology
companies have joined school
districts, students and parents
in trying novel solutions.
“I think it’s important —
we all do — to show that
sexual assault can affect every
single person, no matter who
they are, no matter what their
story is,” said Brena Levy, a
high school senior and student
organizer in Kansas.
In Oregon’s Forest Grove
School District, administra-
tors who were scanning for
threats encountered situations
such as unwanted groping

that they didn’t know how to
handle.
“The principals were just
asking ‘What should we do?’”
said Kimberley Shearer, coor-
dinator for the new Sexual
Incident Response Committee
at the 6,000-student district,
located between Portland and
the Pacific Ocean.
Experts who have treated
young sexual offenders stress
the value of early interven-
tion, and research cites the
importance of a culture that
encourages students to report
incidents without fear of
retaliation. That kind of trust
is essential in Forest Grove,
where school officials have
learned the difference between
age-appropriate experimen-
tation and dangerous sexual
behavior,
Shearer
said.
Officials can monitor social
media, but the kids know
what’s really going on.
To discuss the more
serious cases, a group of
school administrators meets
regularly in the basement of
district headquarters with
local law enforcement and
child protection officials,
as well as a psychologist.
The program not only helps
victims, but also counsels
students who are sexually
aggressive.
Student welfare is one
concern. Legal exposure is
another. If school officials
Umatilla County Historical
Society Presents:
do nothing after learning
of an assault — even one
off-campus — and the student
attacks someone else, a
lawsuit could be devastating.
Forest Grove’s program
follows the pioneering work
of the much-larger Salem-
Keizer School District, which
developed the sexual incident
committee model in 2009.
Another approach to
increase safety involves
“bystander intervention.” The
concept is to create a retal-
iation-free atmosphere that
encourages students to raise
their voices not just if they see
an assault, but also if they spot
disrespectful behavior that
could escalate.
In Kentucky, an organiza-
tion known as Green Dot has
been preaching an intolerance
for violence using positive
peer pressure, much the
same way designated driver
campaigns focus not on blame
but rather on safe solutions.
Research published this
year suggests the approach is
working. Surveys of nearly
90,000 Kentucky high school
students show sexual violence
decreased significantly where
a district implemented the
program.
Meanwhile, millions of
students are using apps to send
anonymous text messages and
photographs to school admin-
istrators. Because school
officials can communicate
in real time with whoever is
reporting an incident, they can
step in immediately.
Students also have begun
organizing on their own, prod-
ding reluctant school districts
to respond.
Last September, police
began investigating after a
Kansas district received a
report a boy had attacked a
girl in a school bathroom.
Students and parents found
out a week later, when the
local news broke the story; the
district said it didn’t go public
because no one else was at
risk.
A group of students at
Shawnee Mission East High
School in suburban Kansas
City rallied classmates to
wear black clothing the
next day. Several hundred
students participated — as
did more than a dozen other
schools. The students kept
going, leading assemblies and
inviting speakers to discuss
consent and sexual violence.
In Oklahoma, sustained
student pressure led a district
to hire victim advocates.
Three girls said that after
they reported being assaulted,
they were harassed by other
students and had to leave
Norman High School because
officials did nothing to stop
the bullying, according to a
lawsuit they settled with the
district. The district said it
investigated, suspended the
boy accused and responded to
one bullying case.
Students
remained
concerned and as many as
600 walked out of class in
November 2014 and lined
several city blocks, where
they were joined by local
residents.
Days later, the super-
intendent
of
Norman
Public Schools, Joe Siano,
announced changes, including
new advocates at both district
high schools, and the district
has since added two more
advocates for its four middle
schools.
