Any person, including students, parent/guardian, employees, clients, contractors, or members of the public who feels that they have been discriminated against by the Los Alamos Public Schools on the basis of actual or perceived race, color, ancestry, national origin, ethnic group identification, age, religion, marital or parental status, physical or mental disability, serious medical condition, sex, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, or gender expression; or on the basis of a person’s association with a person or group with one or more of these actual or perceived characteristics have the right to file a formal grievance.

To properly investigate a grievance it is often necessary to obtain additional or clarifying information from the grievant. It is also vital to close the circle and inform the grievant when there is not violation, or that an investigation has resolved the issue, so they both understand the issue and the District's response. This follow up is not possible if the grievant wishes to remain anonymous. In investigations, the District limits information shared with others only on a need to know basis.  In all cases, retaliation, against the grievant, for raising a grievance  or concern is prohibited.
