Resolving Concerns
Cabarrus County Schools is committed to providing an effective means for parents and the community to voice concerns. In most circumstances, concerns should be addressed at the lowest possible level. The School Relations Office is available to assist in the process of resolving concerns not successfully resolved at the school level. For assistance with a parent concern, contact School Relations Coordinator, Becky Daquila at 704-260-5603.

Policy 1742/5060 Responding to Complaints Not Included Within Other Policies, identifies these different processes and provides a mechanism for resolving concerns not included within other policies. Students and parents/guardians should first address their concerns with the appropriate teacher, principal, or building administrator.

Policy 3210 Parental/Guardian Inspection and Objection to Instructional Materials The board recognizes that despite the opportunity to participate in the selection of materials, parents still may have concerns about instructional materials used in the school district.  Thus, to further involve parents in the education of their children, the board also provides opportunities for parents to review instructional materials and a process for parents to use when they object to instructional materials. Parents may submit a Request for Reconsideration form in writing to the principal and copied to the superintendent regarding the use of particular instructional materials. The Reconsideration Committee at the school will review the request following the Reconsideration Committee Rubric.
