When You Have a Concern
When You Have A Concern:
Sometimes parents and/or community members may have a concern about a specific situation or a certain facet of the school. It is the aim of the entire district to address and resolve these concerns in a timely manner by working through a process which ensures ample opportunity for an appropriate solution. The following four sequential steps ensure ample opportunity for concerns to be addressed and ensure that problems are resolved by the school personnel most directly involved.
- When concerns about an issue or problem at school arise, they are often the result of miscommunication or lack of information. Usually these concerns can be rectified by working directly with the source of the issue, in most cases the teacher, bus driver, coach, etc. Parents are encouraged to talk to the school personnel directly involved first.
- When these concerns cannot be resolved at their personal level, the Principal or other supervisor may become involved. In most instances, issues can be addressed by this building level administrator who will work with all parties and who has the authority to make directives.
- In certain circumstances, an issue may still not be resolved at the building level. In these instances, the Superintendent of Schools may become involved as the next step in resolving a complaint or concern. In most situations, the Superintendent will review existing facts on the matter but also may request further information. The Superintendent has the authority to make binding decisions within the framework of existing school policy.
- The final step in addressing public concerns at the school district level is the Board of Education.
Public Comment at Board of Education Meetings
Public Comment
The Board encourages courteous and respectful public comment at Board meetings. All speakers must conduct themselves in a civil manner. Obscene language, harassing language, defamatory statements, and threats of violence are prohibited. All participants are required to comply with the District Code of Conduct.
The Board will designate a specific portion of its meeting agenda for public comment for a period of up to 30 minutes. The public is not permitted to discuss matters involving specific individuals, and the public may comment on an agenda item, or another particular issue or concern. Each speaker will be allowed up to three minutes. The Board may request, but will not require, speakers identify themselves. The Board is not required to allow speakers to cede their remaining time to other speakers. The Board will take such issues under advisement. This public comment period is not a time for public discussion. If necessary, the community member will be contacted for follow-up. Written comments may be directed to the Board.
If there are a large number of individuals who want to address the Board, the Board President may limit the number of repetitive comments being made so that the time limit on public comment is not exceeded.
