Appeals

A basic ingredient of legal due process is that one who is not satisfied with a decision may appeal to a higher authority.  Thus, the student may appeal a decision of a teacher to the principal, and the principal’s decision to the superintendent.  If still not satisfied, the superintendent’s decision may then be appealed to the board.  Any school board action may be appealed to the circuit court and ultimately to the State Supreme Court.
