Campus Integrity Group has demonstrated expertise partnering with K-12 schools to investigate sensitive allegations, implement policies and training to prevent future staff misconduct, and ensure compliance with relevant regulations and best practices. We help achieve safer and more welcoming school communities while mitigating risk and liability to all community members.

We specialize in K-12 schools and misconduct involving minors because we know from firsthand experience that they encounter different challenges than universities when evaluating allegations, conducting investigations, and implementing realistic policies that prioritize student safety while ensuring regulatory compliance and procedural integrity.

Investigation:

The founding members of Campus Integrity Group created and led the only independent, impartial investigative team for K–12 schools in the United States, serving the Chicago Public Schools—the nation’s fourth-largest school district. We have a demonstrated track record of conducting independent and thorough investigations into a wide range of allegations, ensuring impartiality, fairness, and compliance every step of the way.

We are experts at handling complaints governed by Title VI, Title VII, and Title IX, parallel state and local regulations, potential criminal conduct, and other allegations that implicate school policies. Our areas of investigative expertise include:

• Clear reports of sexual harassment, sexual abuse, assault, and other forms of sexual misconduct

• Ambiguous concerns or rumors of misconduct, including grooming behaviors and anonymous reports

• Discrimination and harassment based on gender, race, or national origin

• Unprofessional or inappropriate conduct that causes discomfort or raises concerns about more serious misconduct

• Complex cases involving school leadership, multiple staff members, delayed outcries, systemic concerns, or off-campus criminal allegations

• Ethical and policy violations, such as time fraud and theft

Prevention and Compliance:

Campus Integrity Group does not just investigate—we also work proactively to help schools prevent future misconduct. Our experienced team provides strategic, tailored services that make sense for your own school community to promote safe, supportive school environments while minimizing risk and ensuring legal compliance. Our prevention and compliance offerings include:

• Policy review and revision – We identify vulnerabilities in current policies and offer practical, customized recommendations to strengthen safety and compliance.

• Internal investigation training – From intake to closure, we train school-based investigation teams on best practices, investigative strategies, and legal requirements. We also help districts establish new internal units, complete with protocols, guides, and training materials that promote consistency and fairness.

• Investigative troubleshooting - Hit a roadblock? We are seasoned problem solvers, and can help complete challenging investigations, refine your school’s intake and investigation procedures, identify areas for improved efficiency and timeliness, and more!

• School community training – We design and deliver engaging in-person and virtual sessions for staff, students, guardians, and others to clearly convey your school’s expectations and policies.

• Systemic reviews and data analysis – We analyze existing data (e.g., complaints, prior investigations, community input) to uncover institutional gaps and design effective, targeted solutions.

By responding quickly to reports of misconduct and supporting districts with informed oversight and customized strategies, Campus Integrity Group helps K-12 institutions identify, address, and prevent misconduct—building stronger, safer school communities.
