How to file a discrimination complaint
Any employee or applicant for employment who
believes he/she has suffered unlawful
discrimination may file the appropriate complaint
with the EEO Office or other agency. The School
Board hopes to facilitate the early and informal
resolution of complaints at the lowest possible
administrative level. However, the EEO Office
will investigate all formal complaints.
Before a formal complaint is filed with the EEO Office:
In order to resolve issues quickly and at the lowest level possible employees should:
-
Discuss the concern with his/her immediate
supervisor. If the supervisor is the source of
the concern; or the concern is unresolved; or
the employee is uncomfortable discussing
the concern with the supervisor, then the
employee should;
-
Discuss the complaint with the department or division supervisor;
-
If the department supervisor does not
resolve the complaint within five (5)
working days, or it is determined upon
consultation between the employee and the EEO Office that circumstances prevent
using steps (A) or (B), the employee may
file a formal discrimination complaint with
the EEO Office.
Employees may also contact the EEO Office at
anytime during the above process for general
information and guidance in the EEO process.
To file an EEO complaint:
-
File your complaint within 30 days of the alleged discriminatory act.
-
Complete the
ASD EEO Complaint Form (PDF).
- Interview with the EEO Director or EEO Specialist.
-
Provide information about the alleged incident.
- Agree to an informal meeting with the EEO Office and your supervisor.
The EEO Office will investigate and advise all
parties on matters pertaining to rights and procedures
under Board Policies and agreements and applicable
state and federal laws and municipal ordinances.
The EEO Office will attempt to resolve the matter
informally within twenty (20) working days. Any
employee who remains unsatisfied with the decision
may file with any of the following agencies:
