Know Your Contract
Purpose of the Faculty Advisory Committee
There are a number of issues that keep coming up in our work site and many times we are not consulted. Is there some way to change this?
Will complaints become part of my personnel file?
My principal told me that some parents had complained about my teaching, Do I have the right to know who is complaining?
