Uniform complaint and Valenzuela postings • Visit will: • Verify Uniform Complaint Notices are posted in every classroom outlining how to file a complaint. • Verify that in classrooms where the native language of 15% or more of the pupils is a language other than English, notices are also posted in that language. SDUSD has provided schools with Cambodian, Somali, Spanish, Tagalog and Vietnamese versions. • Verify a Valenzuela/CAHSEE Student Eligibility Notice is visibly posted in the front office of every high school. • Verify access to the Uniform Compliant Form used to file a formal complaint is available upon request in the front office of every school.
