Uniform Complaint (UCP)

  • A Uniform Complaint alleges a violation of federal or state laws governing educational programs, including allegations of unlawful discrimination, harassment, intimidation, bullying, and failure to comply with laws relating to pupil fees. All concerns should first be brought to the attention of the direct parties and the appropriate supervisor following the General Complaint Procedure.

    If you are unsure if your issue fits this category, a General Complaint is an appropriate starting point and it can be moved to either the Williams or Uniform category as needed.
