Duties of Employees and Supervisors

All employees of The Lawson Academy, both management and non-management, are responsible
for assuring that a workplace free of harassment or sexual harassment and discrimination is
maintained. Any employee may file a complaint regarding incidents experienced personally or
incidents observed in the workplace. The Lawson Academy strives to maintain a lawful, pleasant
work environment where all employees can effectively perform their work without interference of
any type and requests the assistance of all employees in this effort.

All Academy supervisors and managers are expected to adhere to The Lawson Academy's
Harassment Policy. Supervisors' evaluations may include an assessment of a supervisor's efforts
in following and enforcing this policy.

All managers and supervisors are responsible for doing all they can to prevent and discourage
harassment, sexual harassment and discrimination from occurring. If a complaint of harassment
or sexual harassment or discrimination is raised, the individual to whom the complaint is made
should act promptly to notify the administration of the complaint so that human resources may
proceed with an investigation. If such individual fails to follow this policy, he or she will be
disciplined. Such discipline may include termination.
