Complaint Procedures

  • Usually student or parent complaints or concerns can be addressed simply by a phone call or a conference with a teacher. For those complaints and concerns that cannot be handled so easily, the District has adopted a standard complaint policy at Board Policy FNG (LOCAL) in the District’s policy manual. The following are steps to resolve all complaints:

    Step 1 - Contact the Staff Member

    The most direct route to resolving a concern is to confer directly with the person involved, (teacher, coach, etc.) More than 95% of concerns are resolved by a conversation between those involved.

    Step 2 - Contact the Campus Administrator

    The principal and assistant principal(s) are responsible for the school’s operation. Explanations of policies and procedures, various clarifications and all types of campus information are available in campus administration offices.

    After this step you may enter the formal complaint process. 

    Formal Complaint - Level 1 

    If you have gone through the previous informal steps of problem-solving and have not met a satisfactory conclusion, you may then move into the formal process by filing the Level 1 Parents/Students Complaint form with the campus principal.
     
    Formal Complaint - Level 2
     
    After you have gone through the first formal step of problem-solving and have not met a satisfactory conclusion, you may then move into the next formal process by filing the Level 2 Parents/Students Appeal form with the Superintendent.

    Formal Complaint - Level 3 - Contact the School Board

    The 精选麻豆二区 ISD school board can be contacted by requesting a hearing through the superintendent’s office. The 精选麻豆二区 ISD Board of Trustees serves as an appeal body in resolving disputes. A school board member must disqualify him or herself at the time of the hearing if he or she has been involved at any stage prior to the hearing.

    At this step you may continue in the formal complaint process. If you have gone through the Level 1 and Level 2 formal steps of problem-solving and have not met a satisfactory conclusion, you may continue in the formal process with the Board of Trustees by filing the Level 3 Parents/Students Appeal with the Superintendent's office.

    Some complaints and/or concerns require different procedures as listed below. Any campus office or the Student Services office can provide information regarding specific processes for these complaints and concerns. Additional information can also be found in the designated board policy, available in the principal's and Superintendent's offices or on the District's website at www.newcaneyisd.org.
