EMPLOYEE COMPLAINTS
Complaints of employees against fellow employees should be discussed directly between employees. If necessary, complaints shall be brought directly to the immediate supervisor, principal or superintendent and shall be made in a constructive and professional manner. Complaints shall never be made in the presence of other employees, students or outside persons.
A formal grievance procedure is contained in the master contract and/or other areas of the policy book. This policy shall not apply to a complaint that has been or could be filed at the employee's discretion under a formal grievance procedure described in any of the school district’s formal documents.
The Board recognizes that all staff members are expected to solve complaints by following the appropriate chain of command as outlined in
policy.
