Responding to Inquiries and Complaints from the Public

威尼斯官网在线(MCPS)学生的高质量教育计划可以通过所有人的和谐合作来实现. There will be times, however, 当个人可能需要向学校系统雇员进行查询或提出投诉时.

When complaints or concerns occur, 这些问题应在当地学校或在尽可能低的行政一级通过受影响个人之间合作协议的非正式进程加以解决. However, when the informal process fails to provide resolution, 个人有权提出正式投诉,并要求对学校系统工作人员作出的任何行政决定进行审查.

本页载有回应公众查询和投诉的正式和非正式程序的资料. 它提供有关必要程序、表格和可提供协助的办事处的信息. The administrative regulation (KLA-RA, see note),并可在所有MCPS学校索取所需表格, from any of the offices mentioned below, or on the MCPS Web in Adobe Acrobat PDF format: Regulation KLA-RA (22K PDF). (For related entries, see MCPS Policies, Section K: School Community Relations.)


How to proceed with the informal process

当地学校的校长定期发布有关合适的学校管理人员和其他工作人员的信息,他们可以在学校的具体问题上获得非正式的帮助. If you have not seen this information, or if you are uncertain about whom to contact, please call your local school. (See the Directory of Schools and Offices for contact information.) At that time, 请描述你的关注或投诉的一般性质,以便找出合适的人. Quite often, this will be the principal or assistant principal. (In the case of a unit that is not a school, such as an office or department, the term "principal" means the individual in charge of the unit. See the Directory of Schools and Offices for contact information.)

At this informal stage, 所有人都应该尽可能友好和迅速地解决问题或投诉. 在这个非正式的阶段,你和学校都不需要保留任何记录. If you prepare anything in writing, please keep a copy. This could save a duplication of effort later.


What to do if you need assistance

尽管解决问题的第一步通常是在当地学校采取的, 如果您有一般的询问或需要帮助,可以联系学校系统的其他办公室.
