Anyone may file a
complaint against the district alleging that the district has violated
anti-discrimination laws. This complaint procedure is designed to
assure that the resolution of real or alleged violations are directed
toward a just solution that is satisfactory to the complainant, the
administration and the board of directors. This grievance procedure
will apply to the general conditions of the nondiscrimination policy
(Policy 3210) and more particularly to policies dealing with guidance
and counseling (Policy 2140), co-curricular program (Policy 2150),
service animals in schools (Policy 2030) and curriculum development and
instructional materials (Policy 2020). As used in this procedure:
“Grievance”
means a complaint which has been filed by a complainant relating to
alleged violations of any state or federal anti-discrimination laws.
“Complaint”
means a written charge alleging specific acts, conditions or
circumstances, which are in violation of the anti-discrimination
laws. The time period for filing a complaint is one year from the date
of the occurrence that is the subject matter of the complaint. However, a
complaint filing deadline may not be imposed if the complainant was
prevented from filing due to: 1) Specific misrepresentations by the
district that it had resolved the problem forming the basis of the
complaint; or 2) Withholding of information that the district was
required to provide under WAC 392-190-065 or WAC 392-190-005. Complaints
may be submitted by mail, fax, e-mail or hand-delivery to any district,
school or to the district compliance officer responsible for
investigating discrimination complaints. Any district employee who
receives a complaint that meets these criteria will promptly notify the
compliance officer.
“Respondent” means the person alleged to be responsible or who may be responsible for the violation alleged in the complaint.

details regarding the grievance steps, please ask the building
administrator or refer to our nondiscrimination policy located on the
