The initial complaint or grievance should be made by emailing the Webhost for Southeastern Regional School District. However, a verbal complaint or grievance may also be made to any school administrator.  When a school administrator or webhost receives the information, they shall immediately inform the Director of Technology.  Whether or not a formal complaint or grievance is made, once the District has been notified of inaccessible content, effective communication shall be provided as soon as possible to the reporting party to provide access to the information. The Complainant should not have to wait for the investigation of the complaint to be concluded before receiving the information that he/she was unsuccessful in accessing.

• Date of the Complaint

• Description of the problem encountered

• Web address or location of the problem page

• Solution desired

• Contact information in case more details are needed (email and phone number)

The complaint or grievance will be investigated by the Director of Technology or another person designated by the Superintendent. The student, parent, or member of the public shall be contacted no later than five (5) working days following the date the Director of Technology is given the information.

The procedures to be followed are:

• An investigation of the complaint shall be completed within fifteen (15) working days. Extension of the timeline may only be approved by the Superintendent.
