 I didn't read the original post so I don't know how much he actually has done. If it's just winks and may make a comment here and there is it really harrassment or just something he needs to know is not appropriate??
Have you or you mother approached this gentleman to say "We think what you are doing is wrong and if it continues or we hear of any other young girl complaining of this we will go higher up." ? Or are you just going to slam him without giving him a chance.
Some people are just winkers. Some people call everyone 'hon' my boss does it and that's a lady doing it...yes it drives EVERYONE nuts but it's just her way.
My advice, tell him to quit it and then if it continues say something to someone higher up. Too many people jump directly to 'sexual harrassment' when in reality it's just someone being their flirty selves and not knowing it's not appropriate.

This will be in his records for life, and no other school may ever hire him again. Until you find definite proof he is hitting on you, I suggest you confront your grade counsellor about it instead.

Do not exaggerate what was said or done by the vice principal, but do accurately report what he did and why it bothers you. Remember, do not wait for this man to act out any further. An administrator should act professionally and be someone that students can approach with any problems (and not be a source of problems). A record of his behavior towards students needs to be established. Neither you nor I know what other misbehavior this man has been up to, and perhaps the superintendent doesn't either. So, tell him.

 oh I remember you! Well, I'm not sure if he's really hitting on you. He hasn't said anything that is that obvious. I think you should just wait til he's really obvious about it, cuz what if he's just trying to be nice to you because he thinks you're a good kid?
