• Grievance Procedures

    An adult may appeal any school decision made by a school official. There is a chain of command to follow and it begins with the teacher of the child. Parents should be aware of the rationale behind decisions made by teaching staff members and, should they not be satisfied, an appeal to the principal can be made. It is likely that the principal will investigate, and that will include a meeting between those in disagreement. The principal will act on the basis of what has been learned through her/his efforts. The parent has the right to continue to appeal to the next level, which is the office of the superintendent. Further investigation will take place and a decision will be put forth by the superintendent. The next level of grievance is the Board of Education, via the board president, once district appeals are exhausted.

    The grievant may call the Morris County Office of Education, County Superintendent. (973) 285-8332.
