Message from the Board Chair
On behalf of the Board, I wish to welcome you to our meetings. We appreciate visitors from the public and trust your attendance will be beneficial to both of us. We feel it is very important for interested persons to know about the workings of our school system and for us to be aware of what is important to the community. You’re invited to participate in the meeting in accordance with the policy and rules established by this Board.
SCHOOL BOARD COMPLAINT POLICY
All parents, students or other citizens initiating complaints or concerns regarding any aspect of the school department or a school employee shall be encouraged to seek a resolution at the lowest possible level. If the complaint cannot be resolved at the lowest level, the person may appeal to the next level. If the complaint cannot be resolved at any lower level, it may be appealed to the Superintendent’s level. It shall be placed on the agenda of the next regular meeting for the Board sub-committee’s consideration if requested by the person making the complaint. If the sub-committee does not resolve the issue, the complaint can be heard by the full Board.
