We have documented the types of abuse that occurred and the response of districts. Based upon our interviews with superintendents, school attorneys, parents, and teachers, we have also made recommendations for both preventing this abuse and for dealing with it when it happens.en-USeducator sexual misconductchild sexual abuseschoolspreventionpolicyArticle
