Students in the Saddle Brook schools may file complaints regarding denial of civil rights through the pupil grievance process as described in the Board of Education Policy #5710, a copy of which may be requested from the building Principal or the Superintendent. In general, it requires that a written statement be filed with the building principal of the specific nature of the grievance, the facts of the situation, and the relief sought with reasons why that relief is appropriate. If the complaint is not satisfied at that level, it may be taken to the Superintendent and the Board of Education, in that order. Students are urged to seek assistance from their parents as well as the district’s Affirmative Action Officer in the filing and processing of complaints.
