Orland Unified School District

Governing Boards are legally required to safeguard employees from individuals who may upbraid, insult or abuse them (illegal acts). In addition, personnel matters, especially anything valuative in nature, must be done in a closed board meeting.

The procedure for filing a complaint is as follows:

• A complaint concerning a school employee should first be made directly to the person the complaint concerns.
• If unresolved, then the complaint should be directed to the Principal in writing, for review and analysis.
• If unresolved, the complaint shall be referred to the Superintendent.
• The Superintendent's decision shall be final, unless one of the parties involved requests a closed session before the Board of Education on the complaint. When a complaint is made directly to the Board as a whole or to an individual Board member, it shall be referred to the administration for study and possible solution

Some matters lie within the Uniform Complaint Procedures (UCP) scope. Federal and state laws and regulations specify which programs and issues do. Not all complaints are within the scope of the UCP, even if they involve alleged violations of law.
