Parent Complaints. No material shall be placed in the member’s working or permanent personnel file in regard to any complaint by a parent of a student directed toward a member, unless such complaint is reported within ten (10) school days to the member in writing. Within ten (10) school days of receipt of the notice of complaint, the member may request that a parent- member conference take place. The Principal may attend such a conference as a neutral facilitator either at the principal’s initiative or at the request of the member. The refusal of the parent to attend the conference shall not prohibit the building administrator from meeting with the member to discuss the complaint. A parent’s refusal to meet will be taken into consideration by the administration in evaluating the complaint. If a written disciplinary notice is placed in the member’s file, then the parent’s refusal to attend the conference will be documented.

A principal may confer with the parents without teacher attendance when such meetings are strictly for the purpose of securing factual evidence to substantiate or refute the complaint.
