hundred dollars ($500).” It is understood that employees of the Charter LEA shall adhere to customary professional standards when providing services to and/or communicating with students, parents, or related service providers. It is the expectation of the Charter LEA that all personnel will be responsive to parents’ concerns and attempt to resolve problems at the most appropriate level. In the event Charter LEA personnel are unable to resolve the matter, it should be referred to the administrator or designee and, if necessary, subsequently to the CEO/Director or designee. It is neither required nor desirable that a Charter LEA employee, related service provider, student, or parent, face abusive language or behavior. This policy promotes mutual respect, civility, and orderly conduct among all parties.
