Contacting the Board

Grievance & communication policies

The Board has adopted formal processes for bringing questions and concerns forward. If you'd like to raise something with the school or the Board, as a parent, community member, or staff member, these policies describe how to do it and what to expect. Following the process ensures every concern is heard fairly and reaches the people who can act on it.
