A grievance is a claim by a parent or student that he/she has suffered harm or injury by the interpretation, application or violation of a contract, a School Board policy, a law or constitutionally guaranteed rights.  Grievances are of two types: (a) substantive, according to law or policy, and (b) procedural, the methodology of administering policies or legal rights. The term grievance does not include matters for which the method of review is prescribed by law or where the School Board is without authority to act.  It also does not include matters involving the Board's right to establish educational policy and prescribe regulations and procedures for the conduct and the management of the schools.
