Grievance Procedure

The Gresham-Barlow School District has a grievance process in place. This process (including procedures, forms and timelines) can be found in School Board Policy KL and KL-AR, which are available on the links below or at any school or district office upon request. The goal of the process is to provide prompt and equitable resolution of student, employee, parent or patron’s allegations of discrimination. The process begins with a written complaint and includes informal and formal conversations, discussion with district employees involved and an investigation if necessary. Any decision by district personnel may be appealed. Levels of appeal begin with the school administrator and, if necessary, may be taken to the district superintendent or designee, the local school board and ultimately the Superintendent of Public Instruction at the Oregon Department of Education.
 
Any person who feels he or she has been a victim of or witnessed discrimination should contact:

  • School administrator at your local school
  • If the complaint is against the school administrator or is unresolved, contact the Executive Director of Human Resources, Angela Freeman, at 503-261-4599.
  • Section 504 Coordinator, Carla Gay, at 503-261-4551
  • Title II Coordinator Assistant Superintendent, Tracy Klinger, at 503-261-4579
  • Title IX Coordinator Deputy Superintendent, John Koch, at 503-261-4575
