ESSA Complaint Procedures

Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) Complaint Procedures

The Every Student Succeeds Act of 2015 (ESSA) requires Parkway to provide parents, students, and other stakeholders with information about procedures for filing a complaint alleging a violation of federal law or regulations under a covered ESSA program.

A complaint, for these purposes, is a signed, written allegation that a violation of a federal statute or regulation that applies to a program under the ESSA has occurred. Covered programs generally include, but are not limited to, Title I, Title II, Title III, Title IV, and provisions relating to equitable services for private school students.
