                                       LODI UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT



        The Lodi Unified School District has confidence in the competence and professionalism of its staff.  However, if
        you have questions or concerns, we would like to know about it. The district encourages free and open
        communication from individuals and groups within the community regarding compliments, suggestions,
        questions, and complaints about any part of the school program or any employee of the school district.

        To express a compliment about school personnel:

        If you would like to share a compliment, you can call a district employee, send a note, or speak to the person
        directly.  You can also contact the person’s supervisor or  principal, the superintendent, or the Board of
        Education.

        To express a concern about school personnel:

        If you have a concern, it helps to bring it to the attention of the correct people.  In general, a parent should
        communicate first with the school and then with the appropriate office in the district administration.
