P0875 COMPLAINTS AGAINST EMPLOYEES

BOARD POLICY:

It is the Board’s intent to protect school district employees from unfounded allegations and/or complaints and from public criticism to which they may be unable to respond and, therefore, establishes the following procedures:

Implemental Procedures:

1.      Persons with complaints against an employee are encouraged to discuss and attempt to resolve the problem directly with that employee.

2.      If discussion with the employee does not resolve the problem, the complainant will be expected to discuss and attempt to resolve the problem with the employee's immediate supervisor.

3.      If discussion with the supervisor does not resolve the problem, the complainant will be expected to discuss and attempt to resolve the problem with the Superintendent or designee.

4.      The Board of Education will ignore all anonymous undocumented complaints against school district employees. However, any anonymous complaints related to suspected child abuse and/or neglect must be addressed under policy entitled Reporting Suspected Child Abuse and/or Neglect and Kansas law.

5.      Persons with concerns or complaints are encouraged to involve the Parental Liaison at any time and at any stage of the procedures set forth above.
