Communicating with the Board

  • In matters of specific complaints, concerns and suggestions, all appropriate channels need to be exhausted before addressing it to the Board.  These appropriate channels are as follows:

    Step 1: Contact the Staff Member

    The most direct route to resolving a concern is to confer directly with the person involved, (teacher, coach, etc.). The majority of concerns are resolved by a conversation between those involved.

    Step 2: Contact the Campus Administrator

    The campus principal and assistant principal(s) are responsible for the school’s operation. Explanations of policies and procedures and various clarifications are available in campus administration offices.

    Step 3: Contact a Central Office Administrator

    This may be the Executive Director of Student Services or an assistant superintendent. This step should be taken only after steps one and two have not resolved the concern.

    Step 4: Contact the School Board

    The Red Oak ISD School Board can be contacted only after steps one through three have been completed.
