4. Things to remember about Charter Schools
Each school has their own governing board
Each school handles their own personnel
Each schools handles their own curriculum (as described by there charter)
Each school handles their own employee, parent, and student grievances (as described by there charter and their bylaws)
Each school is bound to their charter (that’s what the district holds the school accountable to)
Because of the above, the district and our superintendent is not an appellate district
Grievances are handled at the school/school board level
With the exception of Federal Programs:
504 grievances
Title IX grievances
IDEA-related grievances
