Grievance Policy & Procedure | Haney Technical Center

All employees and agents of a public school district, charter school or private school have an obligation and legal responsibility to report misconduct by instructional personnel and school administrators which affects the health, safety or welfare of a student. Likewise, all parents, vendors and members of the public are encouraged to report any misconduct that may affect the health, safety or welfare of a student.

If you see something of concern on this campus please report it immediately, and confidentially, to the School Director, Angela Reese, by calling (850) 767-5520 or emailing reeseal@bay.k12.fl.us. If, for some reason, you are not comfortable reporting this at the school level, please contact HR Director Holly Buchanan at (850) 767-4100.

GRIEVANCE POLICY/PROCEDURES

Haney Technical College (HTC) believes that complaints and grievances are best handled and
resolved as close to their origin as possible. Therefore, the proper channeling of complaints
involving instruction or discipline are as follows:
Step 1 – Informal. A student should first take a complaint to the person(s) involved and try to
solve the problem informally.
Step 2 – The student must give the Director of Haney a written and signed Student Grievance
Form. The complaint form is located on the school’s website or can be obtained from Student
Services. This complaint should describe the problem and give all the facts and a suggested
solution. The form must be given to the Director by the next school day.
Step 3 – If the student does not agree with the Director’s decision, the appeal, as described in
Step 2, may be sent to the District Superintendent. This has to be done within three (3) days
after the Director’s decision.
Step 4 – If the student does not agree with the Superintendent’s decision, the appeal may be
sent to:
