Question presented

Whether, in a hostile-work-environment case involving facially racist and sexist harassment by students, an employee satisfies Title VII’s notice requirement by repeatedly reporting the conduct to school officials who already know of it, or whether, as the courts below held, she must also use prescribed reporting channels, expressly state that she and others were subjectively offended, and tolerate a heightened level of harassment because she teaches at an alternative school.
