Student Grievance Procedure
Step 1: Student, hereafter referred to as grievant, will submit a written grievance within ten
working days of the incident to the District Director of the center where the student is
registered, with proper documentation and stated outcomes.

concerned parties. This meeting will be called within five working days of receiving the
written grievance from the student.

next scheduled meeting. If the Local Board is not scheduled to meet within ten working
days, a special meeting will be called within ten working days to deal with this issue in a
timely manner.
Step 4: If the issue is not resolved at this level within five working days, the grievant will take it
to the Coordinator for Support Services within the ten working days.

the decision to the hearing officer who must render a decision on the grievance with
