Parents/guardians value great relationships with their child's teachers, principal, and other professionals at the school. However, sometimes questions or concerns arise. When this happens, here's a simple guide to Orange Unified School District's complaint resolution process. Keep in mind everyone has the same goal: our students' best interests.

Young people learn how to deal with real-life situations from the behaviors exhibited by the adults around them. As a District, we strive to model for students how to resolve issues in a courteous, respectful, and effective way.

Where do I start?

Start with your student's teacher, secondary counselor, nurse, coach, or other professional. Disputes and misunderstandings are often best resolved in person and may be the result of miscommunication. Often, misunderstandings can be cleared up or issues addressed through a courteous conversation at the school level. 

Where to go next?

You may feel you were unable to resolve the issue with school staff. In this case, you should schedule a meeting or phone call to discuss the situation with your school's administration, beginning with your assistant principal at the secondary level or your principal at the elementary level. 

Contact the District Office

If you still feel there has not been a satisfactory resolution after exhausting all efforts in the steps outlined above, including discussing the situation with the principal, please contact the district office at (714) 628-4466. If you have not taken the steps above to resolve the issue with the school, you may be referred back to the school site.

If your complaint involves unlawful discrimination, harassment, intimidation, or bullying in a program or activity that is funded directly by, or receives or benefits from, state financial assistance, you will be asked to select the actual or perceived protected characteristic(s) upon which the alleged conduct was based.

If your complaint involves an alleged violation of state or federal laws or regulations, you will be asked to identify the applicable program or activity that is the subject of your complaint.

Please complete all applicable sections of the complaint form to ensure your complaint can be processed appropriately.

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is a federal law enacted in 1990 that prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities in all areas of public life, including jobs, schools, transportation, and all programs and activities offered by public entities. Specifically, the ADA ensures that individuals with disabilities have equal opportunity to participate in and benefit from all services, programs, and activities.

Orange Unified School District is committed to providing equal access and opportunity for all individuals, including those with disabilities, in accordance with the ADA and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. The District affirms that no qualified individual with a disability shall, on the basis of disability, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program, service, or activity it operates.

Inquiries concerning accessibility or compliance with the ADA may be directed to the ADA Coordinator:
