Handling Conflicts

General Guidelines

Student Involvement

Parental Involvement

When conflicts or issues arise, questions need to come through the teacher first and then, if necessary, the Board will be involved.  If parents have questions about the program, or wonder why we take the action we do, they are welcome to approach a board member.   However, problems with the teacher or the program, need to be first taken directly to the instructor.  If the problem cannot be resolved between the two, a board member may be involved. 

The Steps for Handling Conflicts

• First stop is to talk to the instructor

• Second stop is a meeting with the concerned party, Sharon and a board member

• Third stop is a full session of The Board

The issues that might need to be dealt with in this manner are: disciplinary action, beyond what the teacher can handle in the classroom, parental concerns about money, discipline, script selection, fundraising, and interpersonal conflicts.
