- A.
Substantive
verbal and/or written complaints by a parent against a Teacher
shall be called to the attention of the Teacher in a timely manner.
Teachers and administrators shall work together in the resolution
of any formal parent or student complaints. It is recommended
that the parent be advised to follow proper channels in resolving
alleged complaints. In all cases the parent(s) will be encouraged
to discuss the issue first with the Teacher. This article shall
not apply to matters involving allegations of criminal misconduct.
-
- B. The procedure,
as outlined below, will be followed when a parent makes a written
complaint about a Teacher.
-
- 1. The administrator
shall provide the Teacher with a copy of any written complaint
within five (5) school days of having received the complaint.
-
- 2. The administrator
will confer with the Teacher to determine the nature and accuracy
of the complaint.
-
- 3. The administrator
will determine the need for a meeting to gain additional information,
clarification, or interpretation.
-
- 4. If the parent
does not want to meet first with the Teacher concerning the written
complaint, the administrator will request a meeting with both
the parent and the Teacher. In the event this meeting cannot
be arranged the administrator will hold separate meetings with
the Teacher and the parent prior to taking action on the complaint.
-
- 5. Prior to meeting
with the parent(s) a meeting may be scheduled between the administrator,
Assistant Superintendent for Personnel (or designee), Teacher,
and CTC representative to discuss the issues. A Teacher may have
an Association representative accompany them at meeting(s) regarding
a complaint against the Teacher.
- 6. The Teacher will
have the right to examine and attach any dissenting material
to parent complaints placed in the official personnel file.
-
- 7. The Teacher will
sign any statement placed in the official file regarding parent
complaints. The Teacher's signature will confirm only that the
Teacher has seen the statement and does not indicate agreement
that the Teacher concurs with statement.
