Common use of Resolution of Complaints about Teachers Clause in Contracts

Resolution of Complaints about Teachers. Any complaint regarding a teacher made to the Principal, Superintendent or Board by any parent, student, or other person that requires administrative action will be promptly called to the attention of the teacher prior to action being taken. The administration and that teacher shall discuss the complaint and, if appropriate, involve the complaining party. If the complaint cannot be resolved between the parties, the teacher may seek redress with the Board and/or Superintendent. At this time, the complaining party will be required to make the complaint in writing, if not already done. The teacher will be given an opportunity to respond to and/or rebut the complaint. This provision does not apply to any investigation by any non-district entity, such as the Vermont Department of Education, Division of Children & Families, or any law enforcement agency.
