Regulation 4830 – Board/Staff Communications

Staff Communications to the Board

Communication to the Board from District employees concerning personnel matters or personal
complaints shall be filed in writing with the Superintendent However, this procedure will not be
construed as denying the right of any employee to appeal to the Board (regarding alleged
misapplication of policy or administrative decisions) provided that the Superintendent shall have
been notified of the forthcoming appeal and that it is processed in accordance with Board policies
and regulations on staff complaints and grievances. Moreover, this policy will not be construed to
preclude resident staff members from exercising their rights to discuss matters of public concern in
the same manner as other District residents.

All regular meetings of the Board are open for the public to attend. As such, they provide an
excellent opportunity to observe the Board’s deliberations on problems of staff concern. Staff
members may participate in Board meetings in accordance with the policies and regulations
regarding public participation at such meetings. Further, at times and with the knowledge of the
Superintendent, the Board may invite staff members to speak at Board meetings or to serve on
advisory committees to the Board.

All official communications, policies, and directives of staff interest and concern will be
communicated to staff members through the Superintendent, and the Superintendent will employ
such media as are appropriate to keep the staff fully informed of the Board’s concerns and actions.
