IRONDEQUOIT, N.Y. (WROC) — The parents of a West Irondequoit student spoke before the district's board Thursday night in an attempt to hear their concerns about upholding consequences laid out in Title IX, which according to the Department of Education, requires students to address sexual violence . This, in response to claims a student sexually assaulted and harassed their daughter on school grounds last year. Heather and CJ Traub said their daughter was touched inappropriately by a classmate at the end of April 2024. News 8 confirmed with Irondequoit Police that the student was arrested at the end of May and given an appearance ticket, and the case was transferred to the Monroe County Office of Probation. The Traubs told me when both students came back to school, the district did not implement those Title IX protections, or uphold safety plans they and the Traubs agreed to. "We went through the entire process. The kid was arrested, he was charged, he was put through the court process, but the school district did almost nothing to protect her from it," CJ Traub told News 8. CJ Traub alongside his wife Heather said when their daughter came back to school in May 2024, there were multiple additional instances where the accused assailant would break the safety plans put in place, and the assault continued. "Eventually they did put an escort on the kid. But at that point, it was the very last day of school. And then we get to this year, and the escort is pulled off. And, you know, day one, this kid walks right up behind my daughter, and the school district determines that isn't considered a threatening or harassing action. So, I lost my mind at that point," CJ said. The school allowed her to receive tutoring as opposed to going to class but now, they are requiring her to return to school. Heather and CJ say, no way. "It's about a year now, lawyers are involved. Their lawyers are involved. The district. The Commissioner of Education is involved. Now we've been communicating at almost every level," CJ said. "No changes to policy, no changes to any conducts, no changes to safety plans. Just, if you see him, turn around and walk the other direction and let us know, and we'll provide mental health counseling for you. And that's just not the answer for somebody who's sexually assaulted in the building during a class," CJ said. As the Traubs try to navigate the next steps for their daughter, they said at this point, all they want is change. "Knowing that this could happen to our daughter, that can happen to any other kid in this district, and if that's the fight that we have to fight now, then we're not going to go away," CJ said. "Every step has just been kicking the can down the road, or a very, very lackluster response." The board did not reply to CJ's comments at the meeting Thursday, but did provide News 8 with the following statement: "At the West Irondequoit Central School District, protecting our students' well-being is fundamental to everything we do in our classrooms, on our fields, and throughout our programs. Our current District Code of Conduct, Athletic Code of Conduct, and comprehensive student safety policies reflect this commitment. Under the leadership of our new Director of Health, Physical Education, and Athletics, Brendan O'Toole, we are launching a systematic review of our athletic and extracurricular codes of conduct. In the coming months, we will convene a committee to examine these policies, ensuring they align with best practices and serve our school community effectively. While privacy laws prevent discussion of specific cases, we continue to engage with our students, families, and staff to strengthen our programs. We recognize that regular policy review ensures we continue meeting the needs of our school community, and we welcome ongoing dialogue as we advance this important work."
