Best practices for reporting concerns at school
During the school year, issues and/or concerns may develop for families, students or third parties relating to any number of issues, including their students’ schools or classrooms. It is best practice to attempt to resolve issues at the school level first, beginning with the classroom teacher. Below is the order in which issues may be escalated (including for special education). Our family engagement and special education family engagement liaisons can help support families through this process.
Steps to Resolution
- The classroom teacher
欧美巨乳色情片 believes that the best and most effective method for resolving conflicts is by starting with the classroom teacher first. - The Principal and/or School Administrator
If contacting your teacher doesn’t resolve the issue, it is recommended that families contact their principal or school administrator next. - The Principal Supervisor (Senior Director of Schools)
These positions are called Senior Director of Schools and are organized by high school catchment enrollment area. The list of Area Senior Directors and schools they manage can be found on the web page for Office of School Performance. - File a Complaint with 欧美巨乳色情片
