TITLE IX - Section 504

Grievance Procedure

 

Students, parents of students or employees have the right to file a formal complaint alleging noncompliance with regulations outlined in Title VI of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, TITLE IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, Chapter 18.80 of the Alaska Statutes, and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973.

Level One - Principal or Immediate Supervisor (Informal and Optional - may be bypassed by the grievant.) - Employees with a grievance asserting discrimination in violation of BP 4030 may first discuss it with their principal or immediate supervisor, with the objective of resolving the matter informally. If the complaint involves the principal or immediate supervisor, the complaint should start at the next level.  A student or parent with a complaint of discrimination in violation of BP 4030 may discuss it with the teacher, counselor or building administrator involved.

Level Two - TITLE IX and Section 504 Coordinators(s) - If the grievance is not resolved at level one and the grievant wishes to pursue the grievance, they may formalize it by filing a written complaint on a Compliance Violation Form, which may be obtained from the TITLE IX or Section 504 Coordinator.  The complaint shall state the nature of the grievance and the remedy requested.  The filing of the formal, written complaint at level two must be within fifteen (15) working days from the date of the event giving rise to the grievance or from the date the grievant could reasonably become aware of such occurrence.  The grievant may request that a meeting concerning the complaint be held with the TITLE IX or Section 504 Coordinator. If the complaint involves the TITLE IX or Section 504 Coordinator, the complaint should start at the next level with the superintendent or designee processing the level two complaint.  A minor student may be accompanied at the meeting by a parent or guardian.  The TITLE IX or Section 504 Coordinator shall investigate the complaint and attempt to solve it.  A written report from the Compliance Officer regarding action taken will be sent within fifteen (15) working days after receipt of the complaint. 

 Level Three - Superintendent or designee - If the complaint is not resolved at level two, the grievant may proceed to level three by presenting a written appeal to the Superintendent or designee within ten (10) working days after the grievant receive the report from the TITLE IX or Section 504 Coordinator.  The grievant may request a meeting with the Superintendent or designee.  The Superintendent or designee has the option of meeting with the grievant to discuss the appeal.  A decision will be rendered by the Superintendent or designee within ten (10) working days after receiving the written appeal.   If the complaint involves the Superintendent, the complaint should start at the next level with the Board President designee processing the complaint.

 Level Four - Board of Education - If the complaint is not resolved at level three, the grievant may proceed to level four by presenting a written appeal to the President of the Board of Education within ten (10) working days after the grievant receive the report from the Superintendent.  The grievant may request a meeting with the Board to discuss the appeal.  A decision will be rendered by the Board of Education at their next regularly scheduled meeting.  The grievant will be notified in writing of their decision within ten (10) working days after the Board of Education action.

 This procedure in no way denies the right of the grievant to file formal complaints with the Alaska State Commission for Human Rights, the Office for Civil Rights, or other agencies available for mediation or rectification of rights grievances, or to seek private counsel for complaints alleging discrimination.
