The Union School District Board of Directors understand that there are times when a parent, resident, taxpayer, or employee may have a question, concern, complaint, suggestion, or request and is uncertain as to the proper procedure to follow in contacting the school district. Many parental questions are easily and completely addressed by communicating directly with the educational professional most closely involved. Communication is the key in solving any problem. Please, first attempt to resolve any issue or understanding by first communicating with the adult most closely related to the situation.
Below is a flowchart which details the flow of communication when contacting the school district. Each situation should be first addressed at lowest level possible with appeals moving to the next level in succession.
To ensure the timeliest resolution to your situation, initial contact should be at the first level. This individual is most closely involved and will best suited to first address your issue. When requesting an appeal at subsequent levels, please contact the appropriate office to make an appointment for your concerns to be heard. If upon discussion with the superintendent you are not satisfied with the outcome, you may contact the Board Secretary to schedule time at address the issue with the Board of Directors. Contacting individual members of the Board of Directors to address an issue is not an appropriate course of action and will result in being referred back to the appropriate level of flowchart for your issue to be addressed.
