Perspectives’ uniform grievance procedure is evaluated annually in accordance with district and state regulations and is based on the engagement of a range of stakeholders, including students and parent/guardians through our annual handbook review process.
Students, parents/guardians, employees or community members may file a complaint in accordance with this grievance procedure if they believe that the Perspectives Charter Schools Governing Board or PerspectivesCharter Schools employees or agents have violated their rights guaranteed by the state or federal constitution, state or federal statutes, or Perspectives Charter Schools’ Policy.
Perspectives is committed to working with families in a timely and transparent way. It is our hope that complaints can be resolved with staff in the building who work most directly with families day to day, and parents/families should first address concerns with the school.
