I.e.Public Concerns #

The Board of Education recognizes the right of community members to register individual or group concerns regarding instruction, district programs, materials, operations, and/or staff members. The main goal of this District is to resolve such concerns with only the parties involved, whenever possible. Public concerns about the school district will be directed to the proper administrative personnel. Concerns about specific classroom practices shall be directed to the Teacher concerned. If the matter is not settled satisfactorily, the complainant shall then contact the building Principal; if there is no resolution on this level, the Superintendent of Schools shall be contacted. The Superintendent shall refer the issue to the Board for final resolution.

It is the responsibility of the building Principal to help in resolving the problem/concern, and/or to refer individuals to the next level of appeal. Matters involving specific classes, teachers, or school rules should be brought to an administrator’s attention before an individual addresses members of the Board of Education.  All matters referred to the Superintendent and/or the Board must be in writing.  Concerns registered directly to the Board as a whole or to an individual Board member shall be referred, as soon as it is reasonably possible, to the Superintendent for investigation, report, and/or resolution.

The continued interest and support of district schools by members of the school community is vital to the success of Peru students.
