Chain of Command
Woodland Hills School District
How to Effectively Communicate with School Officials
Parents can sometimes be discouraged when they attempt to communicate with central office administrators and/or school board members and they are asked to speak to building-based officials in order to resolve a problem his or her child may be experiencing at school. In order to prevent possible frustration, parents can become informed about the District's "chain of command," or where to begin the communication sequence regarding their problem or concern.
Many parent and community questions are easily and completely answered by communicating directly with the educator in charge of the class or program. Each situation should first be addressed at whatever level the initial action was taken with appeals moving on to the next level of the chain of command. The easiest way to communicate is via email, a phone call is the next preferable way, and then a scheduled face-to-face meeting is the next step when necessary.
