Complaint Procedures
Every effort should be made to resolve complaints regarding district employees at the earliest possible stage. Any
person who complains about a district employee shall be encouraged to resolve the matter informally through direct
communication with the employee whenever possible.
If a complainant is unable or unwilling to resolve the complaint directly with the employee, the complainant may
submit a written complaint to the principal or other immediate supervisor of the employee. Complaints related to a
principal or district administrator shall be initially filed in writing with the Superintendent or designee. If the
complainant is unable to prepare the complaint in writing, administrative staff shall provide assistance in the
preparation of the complaint.
A written complaint shall include the full name of the employee involved, a brief but specific summary of the
complaint and the facts surrounding it, and a description of any prior attempt to discuss the complaint with the
employee and the failure to resolve the matter.
To promote prompt and fair resolution of the complaint, the following procedures shall govern the resolution of
complaints against district employees:
1. When a written complaint is received, the employee who is the subject of the complaint shall be notified
within five days or in accordance with the collective bargaining agreement.
2. The principal or other immediate supervisor of the employee shall investigate and attempt to resolve the
complaint to the satisfaction of the parties involved within 30 days. A complaint against a school or district
administrator shall be investigated by the Superintendent or designee. The investigation may include
interviews of the employee, complainant, or witnesses as necessary and/or a review any documentation
relevant to the complaint.
3. Both the complainant and employee shall be notified in writing of the final decision regarding the resolution of
the complaint.
4. Either the complainant or the employee against whom the complaint was made may appeal the decision. A
decision by the principal or immediate supervisor may be appealed to the Superintendent or designee, who
shall attempt to resolve the complaint to the satisfaction of the parties involved within 30 days. Either the
complainant or the employee may appeal the Superintendent's decision to the Governing Board.
5. If the decision is appealed to the Board, the Superintendent or designee shall submit to the Board the following
information:
a. The full name of each employee involved
b. A brief but specific summary of the complaint and the facts surrounding it, sufficient to inform the Board
and the parties as to the precise nature of the complaint and to allow the parties to prepare a response
c. A copy of the signed original complaint
d. A summary of the action taken by the Superintendent or designee and the reasons that the problem has
not been resolved (CUSD AR 1312.1)
