Legal Question in Sexual Harassment in Virginia

sexual harassment

First, THANK YOU for this service /website!!! I am a teacher and a student asked me to ''rub her butt'' in front of the class. I informed an assistant principal and wrote a detailed referral on the student. The assistant principal told me he didn't think it was ''harrassment''. The student was only talked to and I also called the parent per our school policy. What is the law on this. The student is 16. I feel she should at least be in another class other than mine.
