Common use of STUDENT APPEAL PROCESS Clause in Contracts

STUDENT APPEAL PROCESS. Students who wish to have the faculty consider policy or rule changes must do the following in order: 1. Contact the Principal or Vice Principal in writing to see if a rule change in this area is being considered, or if the rule is one that must be appealed to a higher authority first (School Board), or if the rule cannot be changed because of law. 2. You must provide a written proposal that describes in detail what is wrong with the current situation and what you believe would be a better solution. In your written proposal, you must detail your arguments both for and against the proposed solution by both student and faculty (that's a total of four arguments). You must include research into what other schools have done. This will prepare you to recognize and be ready to discuss the different points of view that cause rules to be controversial at times and why getting agreement to change may be difficult. 3. These pieces of evidence will be presented to the faculty so they can take one of the following steps: a) Ask you to survey the people who would be affected by this change so that opinions of all others are known; b) Ask you to gather some other information before going on; c) Agree with your proposal and work with you to get it into action; d) Reject your proposal with comments back to you as to why.
