General Information

Communicating Concerns

Questions regarding individual students should first be discussed with the child’s teacher, then the guidance counselor or principal. If further discussion is necessary, the question can be referred to the assistant superintendent and superintendent.

If the matter is not resolved at this point, the question can then be referred to the Board of Education by asking the superintendent to have it placed on the regular monthly agenda.

This process is most effective because it allows the questioner to receive a direct response while at the same time freeing the Board of Education to consider matters and policies affecting the entire district.
