How to File a Personnel Complaint

Utilize board policies KEB, KEB-R and KEB-E to file a complaint against SUSD personnel if you feel AZ law, parents' rights or other have been violated. Be sure to follow the instructions exactly as written. 

​

• Policy KEB: PUBLIC CONCERNS / COMPLAINTS ABOUT PERSONNEL

• Policy KEB-R: REQUIRED INFORMATION

• Policy KEB-E: PUBLIC CONCERNS WITH SCHOOL EMPLOYEES

​

Once you have completed the paperwork, send the forms along with all supporting documents and a cover letter to the governing school board, and copy the superintendent and SUSD's general counsel, who can be found here.

​

TIPS:

• Keep a record of all actions. Document: when you filed the complaint; when you received a response; who responded and their position at SUSD

• Keep everything in writing. Attending in-person meetings and phone calls is in SUSD's favor as it avoids documentation of events. If you do attend in-person meetings or events, have someone take notes and email those notes to the SUSD staff member following the meeting so they become part of public records. Be sure to document discussion topics, any decisions or agreements (or disagreements) that are reached, and the agreed upon next steps. 

• File a complaint with the AZ Department of Education as well to ensure that an independent investigation is conducted in addition to Scottsdale Unified School District's self-evaluation.
