FEDERAL PROGRAMS COMPLAINTS

The district receives federal funds and has established a complaint process to help ensure
compliance with federal grant requirements. Any student, parent, community member or employee
who believes the district has violated any regulation connected with the expenditure of federal funds
should notify the district using the process outlined in Board policy 200.521 which governs
complaints.
