Grievance/Appeal Process

The Chino Induction Program seeks to resolve all candidate issues in a timely manner. Therefore, the Chino Induction Program  has implemented procedures for grievances and appeals by the candidates with the intent of assuring fairness and objectivity. The procedures are not designed for all of the due process safeguards that our courts of law require. The purpose is to provide a system that will represent “fairness and the absence of arbitrariness”.

A candidate with a complaint has recourse through the complaint procedure process. In most cases grievances/appeals can be resolved by expressing the concern with the program coordinator. If the issue is not resolved in this manner, then the candidate may file a formal grievance/appeal using the Formal Grievance/Appeal form, which then triggers the following process:

1. Upon receipt of the Formal Grievance/Appeal form, the coordinator will convene a panel composed of the Advisory Board Members to review grievance/appeal documents.  

2. The Advisory Board may, as necessary, call upon the candidate, the mentor, or the program coordinator regarding the complaint. A decision regarding the resolution for the grievance/appeal must be made by majority vote.

3. The Advisory Board shall issue a written decision within 30 calendar days to the candidate and shall include a statement summarizing the Advisory Board’s final disposition of the grievance/appeal.

4. The Advisory Board’s decision shall be final, and all remedies shall be considered to have been exhausted.

5. The Advisory Board’s written decision shall be placed in the candidate’s file.
