Safe Environment for our Young People

The Diocese of St. Augustine treats all allegations of sexual misconduct seriously and deals with them in a prompt, confidential and thorough manner. Keep in mind:

  • Every person has the right to be treated with the dignity befitting a child of God.

  • Every person has the right to have appropriate boundaries respected.

  • Every person has the right to challenge any comment or behavior that is perceived to be sexually oriented.

Safe Spaces for our Young People

St. Therese Early Learning Center complies with the requirements of §553.865, Florida Statutes, The Safety in Private Spaces Act. Except where facilities are specifically designated as unisex, the school’s bathroom and locker rooms/changing facilities are designated exclusively for use by biological females or biological males. Any student who willfully enters a school restroom or locker room/changing facility designated for the opposite sex and refuses to depart when asked to do so by any school personnel will be subject to disciplinary consequences as established by the school principal unless a specific statutory exception applies.
