Complaint Process

(Spanish) McMinnville School District considers the school community to be an essential partner in the educational process. Families, students, staff and local community members are encouraged to make their concerns known to the district and to give the district an opportunity to review those concerns and respond to them in a timely manner.

• Concerns about instructional practices or resources, harassment, discipline or discrimination should begin at the school level first. The proper channeling of complaints around instruction, discipline or learning materials is as follows:

  • • Teacher or employee
    • Principal or supervisor
    • Superintendent or designee
    • Board

• If discussing concerns with the classroom teacher, school principal/assistant principal, or your supervisor does not resolve the issue, individuals may access the school district’s formal complaint process.

• A formal complaint may be filed via the form below or you can print a copy of form KL, fill it out and submit it to McMinnville School District, 800 NE Lafayette Avenue, McMinnville, OR  97128.

If you need assistance or interpretation services, please call 503.565.4000. 

Note: if you have a complaint about bullying or a safety concern, families, students, staff and community members can submit an anonymous tip to SafeOregon. All tips are analyzed 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and forwarded to designated local personnel or law enforcement for follow up.
