A conference should be scheduled between the two parties.STEP 2: If the parent/guardian feels the complaint or grievance is unresolved after the first step, the parent/guardian may request a meeting with the building principal.STEP 3: IF the parent/guardian feels the complaint or grievance is unresolved after the second step, the parent/guardian may request a meeting with the Superintendent.STEP 4: IF the parent/guardian feels the complaint or grievance is unresolved after the third step, the parent/guardian may request a meeting with the Board of Education. This request must be made in writing to the Superintendent a minimum of one (1) week prior to the scheduled Board meeting. The request must state the reason(s) for the meeting. The request to meet with the School Board shall be considered by the Superintendent and the president of the School Board. The president of the School Board shall make the decision as to whether or not the matter is placed on the School Board agenda. The president is under no obligation to place the matter on the School Board agenda. The decision of the Board of Education shall be final.Citizen complaints involving school personnel may not be presented to the School Board, due to the fact that presentations to the Board concerning personnel are closely governed by state and constitutional law.Any patron who has a complaint about an employee should first attempt to resolve any such issues with the employee. If no satisfactory result is obtained, or if the nature of the complaint would render such an approach to the employee futile, the patron may present the complaint to the employee’s immediate supervisor (usually the Principal).If no satisfactory result is obtained from the immediate supervisor, the patron may then present the complaint to the next level of supervision (usually the Superintendent). The Superintendent is the final authority in such matters, unless some employment action is justified which would require action by the School Board on the recommendation of the Superintendent. In such a circumstance, the Superintendent has the sole discretion in deciding whether to make such a recommendation.The disciplinary action, if any, taken against the employee may not be revealed to the patron bringing the complaint, since to do so could violate statutory and constitutional prohibitions.Facebook Page log-in HOME CONNECT to access class homeworkClick on AcademicsClick on Grade LevelsClick your child’s teamClick your child’s teacher(s)Click on Homework/Lesson Plans (in red box)SCHOOL INFO APP09080500-28575-25146000Kraus Middle School… There’s an app for that!That’s right, you can now keep up with all of the who, what, when and where for Kraus Middle School through the Kraus Middle School app by SchoolInfoApp available on all mobile devices!Click here or scan the QR code below to download the Kraus Middle School app by SchoolInfoApp on your iPhone, iPad, Android, Blackberry or Windows device.
