Complaints Against Teachers Communication between the Community and the School ideally should be such that most complaints may be resolved through personal conferences at the School level. Various avenues of contact between teacher, pupil, parent, principal and other appropriate staff personnel should be pursued before using the formal procedures outlined below. The following process shall not be used when allegations involve legal or criminal violations or allegations of misconduct towards a student, such as abuse or discrimination. Such allegations shall be investigated in accordance with board policy and in conjunction with the authorities, consistent with principles of due process.
1. The Complainant shall be given a copy of this Part II, Section J and be told that there are contractual requirements for the District to follow.
2. If such conferences do not lead to understanding and resolution of problems involved, a parent may pursue further action by submitting a complaint against a teacher, which must be submitted in writing to the principal of the school. The principal shall give a copy to the teacher. Likewise, the teacher may request in writing to the principal that such a written complaint must be filed or the matter shall be considered closed. The principal shall give a copy to the parent.
3. After a written complaint is filed, if requested by the complainant or the teacher, a meeting involving the teacher, the principal, and the complainant will be arranged as soon as possible to discuss the complaint.
4. If it is not resolved at that level to the satisfaction of the Complainant, the Complainant may appeal to the Superintendent.
5. If it is still unresolved to the satisfaction of the Complainant, the Complainant may appeal to the Board of Education.

Action Against Parties; Notification Promptly after receipt by any Indemnified Party under this Section 8 of notice of the commencement of any action, such Indemnified Party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 8, promptly notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations hereunder except to the extent it shall have been actually prejudiced by such failure. In case any such action is brought against any Indemnified Party, and it notifies an indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled, to the extent it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to participate in the defense thereof, with separate counsel. Such participation shall not relieve such indemnifying party of the obligation to reimburse the Indemnified Party for reasonable legal and other expenses incurred by such Indemnified Party in defending itself, except for such expenses incurred after the indemnifying party has deposited funds sufficient to effect the settlement, with prejudice, of, and unconditional release of all liabilities from, the claim in respect of which indemnity is sought. Any such indemnifying party shall not be liable to any such Indemnified Party on account of any settlement of any claim or action effected without the consent of such indemnifying party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
