Resolving a Concern

Resolving a Concern at Finley School District

At Finley School District, we are committed to fostering open communication and working collaboratively with parents and guardians to address any concerns regarding their child’s education or the district’s programs. If you're unsure who to contact or need guidance in resolving an issue, please don't hesitate to reach out to our Special Services Department at 509-586-3217 for assistance.

Steps to Resolve Concerns

  1. Follow the District's Complaint Process
    We have a clear and structured process for addressing concerns. We encourage you to review our School Board Policies and Procedures (Policy 4220P), which provide detailed steps on how to address issues. These policies are available on our website to ensure transparency and consistency throughout the process.

  2. Filing a Complaint with OSPI
    If your concern involves federal programs (e.g., Title I, Part A) and local efforts to resolve the issue have not been successful, you may file a complaint with the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI). To learn more about how to file a complaint related to federal programs, please visit the OSPI Citizen Complaints – Federal Programs page.

We value your partnership in ensuring the best educational experience for every student in our district. Thank you for working with us to address your concerns!
