Superintendent Statement Regarding Social Media Allegations Of Sexual Harassament And Assualt
- 07/07/20
We are aware of the recently created social media accounts that are dedicated to sharing the anonymous stories of alleged incidences of sexual harassment and assault experienced by current and former Tigard-Tualatin School District (TTSD) students in our school buildings and/or that have been reported to school staff. These allegations are very serious, and in accordance with state law and district policy require investigation.
This morning we initiated an external investigation of each one of the reports. Upon completion of this investigation, a report regarding the process and outcome will be shared with the School Board. We are also following up with all of the identified students and their families.
We strongly encourage all students, regardless of the forum they choose, to speak out about abuse. While TTSD offers multiple avenues for students to safely report abuses, if for any reason there is a lack of trust in our staff or systems, we strongly advise students to report abuses through the Safe Oregon school safety tip line. Safe Oregon is a 24/7 anonymous student reporting system that provides immediate and formal responses to student concerns.
Anyone with new or additional information relative to allegations of sexual harassment or abuse involving TTSD students or staff should contact Debbie Ebert, TTSD Director of Human Resources at debert@ttsd.k12.or.us or 503.431.4013.
