Lakeway Christian Schools is an equal opportunity employer. It does not discriminate in hiring or promotion on the basis of age, race, sex, color, national origin, handicap or disability. It also does not tolerate remarks or statements that indicate discrimination on any of those bases. Harassment or discrimination in violation of federal law in any form, both by conduct or statement, is improper and will not be tolerated. Any such improper conduct or statement is a violation of law and undermines the integrity of the workplace. No employee, either male or female, is to be subjected to any type of harassment or discrimination in violation of federal law. Sexual harassment is behavior or comments that are not welcomed by an employee, they are personally offensive to an employee, that destroys morale, and that by its nature interferes with a safe and harmonious workplace. Improper conduct or comments of this nature may result in termination of the employee engaging in the conduct or making the statements. Unwelcome comments or physical advances, requests for favors of a sexual nature, and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature constitute sexual harassment when:- Submission to the conduct is either an explicit or implicit term of employment; or,
- Submission to or rejection of the conduct is used as a basis of making employment decisions; or,
- The comments or conduct has the purpose or effect of substantially interfering with an individual’s work performance; or,
- The comments or conduct creates an intimidating, hostile, or offensive work environment.
Lakeway Christian Schools will not tolerate sexual harassment of any kind. LCS, however, cannot remedy the situation or discipline an employee who is engaging in conduct or making statements that amount to sexual harassment if it is not reported. You are encouraged to report any incidents of sexual harassment to which you are subjected or which you witness.

- Report the comments or conduct to the School Administrator.
- Immediately contact any member of the School Board if you are uncomfortable or unwilling to discuss the problem with administration.
