STUDENT COMPLAINTS AND GRIEVANCES

 

 

It is the right and responsibility of both school officials and students to develop a functional and orderly procedure in every school through which consideration of student problems and concerns can be discussed and resolved quickly and equitably.

 

It is the purpose of discussion and appeal procedures to provide access to appropriate school officials within a reasonable time.  It is not the purpose to provide a forum through which trivialities, irresponsible actions and nonrelated school issues are conveyed.  In this context it is recommended:

 

  1. That as many student problems and concerns as possible be handled through committees established by the student council or through direct communication with a staff member.
     

  2. That only issues of utmost concern be brought before a student­-faculty committee for review and disposition.
     

  3. That only unresolved issues of major importance be appealed to the school administration for consideration and action.
