Public Complaints

Board members and school personnel shall refer persons making complaints about the schools to the most immediate level at which the problems can be resolved and, as may be necessary, through lines of organization to the Superintendent of Schools. Parents should be made aware of the proper channels of communication and the appeal process. The decision of the principal regarding a student must include notice to the parents of the next step of appeal, if appropriate. Any appeal of a decision of the Superintendent to the Board shall be in writing and signed.

Board members and staff must keep in mind that many concerns and fears can be allayed by listening reflectively and letting the person know that they are hearing what is being said. Board members and staff also should guard against reacting defensively when an apology, acknowledgement, and/or corrective action is called for.

Complaints Concerning Instructional Materials

Constructive criticism of instructional materials is welcome when it is motivated by a sincere desire to improve the quality of the educational program and to equip schools to perform their tasks more effectively.

A procedure for processing and responding to criticism of approved materials shall be established and followed. This procedure shall include a formal, signed complaint of standard format and an appointed committee to re‑evaluate the material in question.

In all cases, the decision to retain or reject shall be made on the basis of whether the material represents life in its true proportions, whether circumstances are realistically dealt with, and whether the material has literary or social value. Factual material shall be included in all instructional material collections.

Regulation 1312.1

Complaints Concerning Educational Materials*

General Complaint Procedures. Complaints and grievances shall be handled and resolved as close to their origin as possible.

Although no member of the community shall be denied the right to petition the Board of Education for redress of a grievance, complaints shall be referred back through the proper administrative channels for solution.

A parent/legal guardian may request that his/her child not read, view, or hear given material. A parent/legal guardian has the right to request a review of instructional materials for his/her own children only.

The Board advises the public that the proper channeling of complaints involving educational materials is as follows:

1. Teacher/Library Media Specialist

2. Principal

3. Review Committee

4. Superintendent

5. Board of Education

Each school shall have an Educational Material Review Committee established by the principal and shall include: teacher(s), library media specialist, building principal (Review Committee Chairperson), and department chair or reading consultant.

Complaints Regarding Educational Materials. The Board of Education has established the following guidelines for addressing complaints regarding the utilization of educational materials:

A parent/legal guardian who has a concern about the content of instructional materials should discuss the concerns with the teacher/library media specialist involved as a first step.
If a parent/legal guardian requests that his/her child not read, view, or hear given material, the request must be in writing to the building principal so that the principal can attempt to address the issue.

*Educational materials shall be defined as, but not limited to, print materials such as textbooks, tradebooks, library books, and journals/periodicals and non-print materials such as computer software, internet sources, laser discs, and film.

If the parent's/guardian's concern has not been resolved in steps 1 or 2, then the parent/guardian will be asked to complete a "Request for Review of Educational Material" form and will be invited to meet with the EMR Committee.**

The principal will share the parent's concern as stated on the REM form with the superintendent prior to the EMR Committee's meeting. After meeting with the parent and discussing the issue, the EMR Committee will issue a written response to the parent with a copy to the superintendent.

If the parent/guardian is not satisfied with the answer given by the EMR Committee, he/she may appeal to the Board of Education through the Superintendent of Schools.

** The "Request for Review of Educational Material" form is available here by clicking here and also from the building principal. The form should be completed and returned to the building principal who will convene a Review Committee.

Policy 1316

Relations Between Public and School Personnel

Conduct on School Property and at School Events

The Board of Education expects mutual respect, civility and orderly conduct among all individuals on school property or at school events. District staff will treat parents and other members of the public with respect and expect the same in return. The Board is committed to maintaining orderly educational and administrative processes in keeping schools and administrative offices free from disruptions and unwarranted intrusions. Visitation by parents and members of the public is welcomed and encouraged, provided that such visitation remains, at all times, under the strict control of the building administrator or person in charge of the outside event.

This policy promotes mutual respect, civility and orderly conduct among Board members, district employees, parents and the public. It is not intended to deprive any individual of his/her right to freedom of expression, but only to maintain to the extent possible and reasonable, a safe, harassment-free environment.

In the interest of presenting Board members and District employees as positive role models to the students as well as to the community, the Board encourages positive communication and discourages volatile, hostile or aggressive actions. The Board seeks parental and public cooperation with this endeavor.

Based upon the above, the Board expects that all persons on school property or at a school events shall adhere to all relevant laws, ordinances and school policies and regulations. The following list, although not inclusive, illustrates behaviors that are unacceptable.

Injure, threaten, harass or intimidate a staff member, Board member or any other person
Damage or threaten to damage another’s property
Damage or deface District property
Violate any Connecticut law or town/city ordinance
Smoke or otherwise use tobacco products
Consume, possess, distribute, or be under the influence of alcoholic beverages or illegal drugs, or possess dangerous instruments or weapons
Impede, delay, or otherwise interfere with the orderly conduct of the District’s educational program or any other activity occurring on school property
Enter upon any portion of the school premises at any time for purposes other than those which are lawful and authorized by the Board
Operate a motor vehicle in a risky manner or in violation of an authorized District employee's directive, or
Violate other District policies or regulations or an authorized District employee's directive

Any individual who disrupts or threatens to disrupt normal school or office operations; threatens the health and safety of students or staff; willfully causes property damage; uses loud or offensive language which could provoke a violent reaction; or who has otherwise established a continued pattern of unauthorized entry on District property, will be directed to leave the premises by a member of the administrative staff or his/her designee.

If any member of the public uses obscenities or speaks in a demanding, unnecessarily loud, insulting and/or demeaning manner, the staff member to whom the remarks are directed will calmly and politely admonish the speaker to communicate civilly. If the abusing party does not take corrective action, the District employee will terminate the meeting or conversation.

If any member of the staff uses obscenities or speaks in a demanding, unnecessarily loud, insulting and/or demeaning manner, the person to whom the remarks are directed should calmly and politely admonish the speaker to communicate civilly and report the incident to staff member's supervisor or the school principal.

Public Performances by Students

The Board of Education recognizes the educational value from student participation in civic and community affairs. Teachers are encouraged to prepare students for public performances which contribute to student education when they don't interfere unduly with other educational activities or programs. At no time will a student be required to participate in a public performance unless the participation is a part of the curriculum of a course. Even in such instance, an opportunity to choose an alternate assignment will be given when possible.

School groups may, as authorized by Superintendent's regulations, participate in local public events.

Policy 1324

Solicitation of Funds

I. Introduction

The Board of Education recognizes that certain types of fundraising activities may enhance the relationship between school and community and can contribute to the improvement of the school program. School districts, however, are public institutions fully supported by taxes and the Board has a clear responsibility to protect students, staff, and their families from exploitation. The Board also recognizes that exploitation works both ways. A potential donor may feel unduly pressured, either directly or indirectly, when solicited to contribute to a program promoted by a school system. Therefore, the Board of Education establishes the following.

II. Application Procedure

All requests to conduct fundraising shall be submitted to the building principal, in writing, at least 15 days prior to the proposed activity.
The request shall identify the name of the school, name of the individual submitting the request, name of sponsoring individual or organization, fundraising activity dates, and purposes and nature of the fundraising activity.
Any fund-raising activity must be approved by the principal of the school or, if a district-wide activity, by the superintendent.

III. Criteria for Approval of Fundraising Activity

There shall be sufficient educational or financial benefits to the school and/or students, either directly or indirectly, to justify the fundraising activity.
Fundraising shall be in good taste and appropriate for the school district.
Fundraising shall be limited to Board-approved activities, activities sponsored by faculty, students and/or school-related parent organizations for school benefit.
Funds raised from the activity will be used for the stated purposes.
The fundraising mechanics or procedures will not unacceptably burden staff or subject the school to unnecessary risks or responsibility.
Instructional time will not be used to conduct fundraising activities except in cases where it is an integral part of the curriculum. Promotional activities shall be conducted in such a manner as to cause minimal disruption of regular school activities.
School employees will not be approached during school hours for the purpose of soliciting funds or selling goods.
Handling and accounting of fundraising material shall be the responsibility of the sponsoring group.
Under no circumstances shall students be required to solicit and no mandatory quotas shall be imposed upon them.

IV. Rules for Solicitation

Elementary school students will not participate in door-to-door sales or canvassing.
School employees will not be approached during school hours for the purpose of soliciting funds or selling goods.
Any person who goes into the community to request donations or to sell a product must have a document signed by the principal (or superintendent when appropriate) showing that the fund-raising activity is a school-approved fund raising event.

Any request by teachers or other school personnel for parent group funding of programs, equipment, materials, or field trips to supplement the school's operating budget must be approved by the school principal before the parent groups may consider the request.
The Board does not approve of door‑to‑door solicitation by students in Grades K‑5 unless accompanied by a parent/guardian or other designee.
Parents are cautioned to limit the amount of money children carry to school.
Parent groups shall ensure the voluntary nature of fund-raising activities.
The school principal may disseminate promotional literature for approved fund-raising activities.
Fund-raising activities will be conducted in such manner as to cause minimal disruption of regular school activities.

A. Appearance, format and acceptable grammatical style;

1. Activities which are unlawful in nature

2. Any purpose in conflict with the mission or goals of the school district

3. Commercial advertising

4. Fund-raising campaigns except as permitted by Board of Education policy, or by special action of the Board of Education, or except as permitted by the Superintendent.
