| Item Title: | Approval of Recommendation Not to Hear Uniform Complaint Appeal No. 2015-16.04 |
| Item Type: | Action |
| Background: | The District received the attached complaint claiming that the District had failed to provide sufficient instructional materials to a student and to follow its internal regulations regarding student enrollment. Staff investigated the complaint. As a result of the investigation, the District substantiated the instructional material complaint but found that enrollment regulations had been followed. As a resolution, the District changed its procedures for distributing instructional materials to sites and agreed to re-examine its enrollment rules to see whether the rules themselves should be changed. The District is committed to convening an enrollment process task force to gather input from affected stakeholders and provide a comprehensive report on challenges and action steps in subsequent Board meetings in the coming year.
The complainant seeks to appeal the District’s response to the Board. Staff recommends that the Board not hear the appeal; approval of this item as part of the consent agenda would result in the Board declining to hear the appeal and permitting the complainant to bring the complaint to the California Department of Education if desired. The District would also implement the resolution steps set forth in its response.
