Administrators, Faculty, and staff members at Cazenovia Central School recognize that from time to time parents and community members may have concerns and complaints regarding instruction, district programs, materials, and student management. The school district welcomes any constructive criticism when it is motivated by a sincere desire to improve our education programs and increase school efficiency.

Officials at the Cazenovia School District believe that complaints and grievances concerning school personnel are best handled and resolved as close to their origin and in as timely a manner as possible in order to be fair to all involved. Therefore, the proper channeling of complaints initiated by a student or parent should be followed.

Start here and work through the channels of communication until resolution is achieved.

If, after discussing the complaint at the school and district level the complaint is not satisfied, the complainant should present the complaint in writing to the Board of Education. Factual material, such as names, dates, names of witnesses, and other such specifics should be included in the complaint.

In order to discourage hearsay, rumors, and prejudiced opinion, students and their parents are encouraged to contact school personnel at the time of any incident.
