STUDENT GRIEVANCE PROCEDURES
The purpose of the Grievance Committee is to hear and recommend action on
alleged violations of the provisions of the Student Responsibilities and Rights
Document. A copy of this document is contained in the FCPS Calendar
Handbook. A written grievance form must be filed by a student before any
actions can be taken by the Committee. A student may file a grievance within
one week after the alleged violation. If the alleged violation occurred more than
one week prior to discovery, the subcommittee shall decide whether the
grievance is valid. It is the student's responsibility to discuss the grievance with
the teacher (or activity sponsor) and the guidance counselor prior to filing a
grievance. Forms for filing a grievance are available in the main office.
