Mandatory Reporting of Misconduct.  It is the duty of all employees to report to the Superintendent alleged misconduct by any School Board employee that affects the health, safety or welfare of a student. Failure of an employee to report such misconduct shall result in disciplinary action. If someone reports misconduct to you, be a Leader:  Listen, Evaluate, Act Immediately, Document, Encourage and Report.  Please read Policy 6.29 for additional information.

Whenever an employee feels that he/she has a complaint, every effort is to be made to arrive at a satisfactory resolution of the problem on an informal basis.  When this cannot be done, employees not covered by a collective bargaining complaint procedure or alleging discrimination or harassment, can resort to the more formal procedures as provided by policy.  See School Board Policy 6.35* for additional information regarding grievance procedures.
