The Issue

Kids in O'Fallon go to school to get their education. Some can't continue their education, or it's hard for some to do their education, all because of sexual harassment. Many students, mainly at O'Fallon High School, are being harassed or assaulted on or off school campus. 1/8 of students have been sexually assaulted at O'Fallon Schools this year. The school administration and security do not take these cases seriously and do not investigate. Students can not go to school or have to be worried in school because the person who sexually abused them may see them and cause issues. When the school takes on these cases, they do not contact families, call police, nor speak with the people who abused them. Many students are scared to go and report the assault because the school gives out much personal information for the case. The school won't help with off-campus sexual assaults and makes the student and their family figure it out on their own. The school does not allow parents to see videos or see any evidence and makes lies about the assault because the school does not want to deal with it. 

This petition should have the schools have stricter policies for sexual harassment and allow students to earn their education. It is against the law to be sexually assaulted or harassed in the State of Illinois. Please Sign this petition and get justice for many students and future students!
