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.
