Parents, staff members, and DeKalb ISD residents are encouraged to first work with the appropriate teacher or campus leadership to resolve concerns. Concerns should be expressed to the staff most closely involved in the situation as soon as possible to allow early resolution at the lowest possible administrative level. Informal resolution shall be encouraged but shall not extend any deadlines in this policy, except by mutual written consent. If issues cannot be resolved informally at the campus level, formal forms for grievances, library book challenges, and local instructional materials review requests can be found below.
