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.
