Parent Complaints & Appeals
Complaints & Appeals Process
- If a concern arises from a school situation, students or parents should first discuss it with the teacher, or staff member most directly involved.
- If the students or parents concerned believe that the discussion has not led to a satisfactory conclusion, they may proceed to discuss the matter with a dean of students, assistant principal, or principal in an attempt to reach a solution.
- If the students or parents believe that the situation still has not been resolved, concerns should be taken to the school director (contact info on the reverse of this sheet). The school Director or Principal will first investigate the matter to ensure that Steps 1 and 2 have been appropriately documented and completed, then record the complaint and/or appeal and will address any concerns regarding appeal of a disciplinary decision, or any action or inaction taken by the school administration, within three school days of the appeal and within five days from the time the complaint is introduced.
- If the situation still has not been resolved to the satisfaction of the students or parents, concerns should be directed to the ReNEW Director of Culture, Ezzie Smith at esmith@renewschools.org, Chief of Staff, Tammy Robicheaux at tammy@renewschools.org, or ReNEW CEO, Tanya Bryant at tanya@renewschools.org. Both individuals can also be contacted via U.S. Mail at 10001 Lake Forest Blvd. Suite 710, New Orleans, LA 70127. The complaint and/or appeal will be recorded and addressed as quickly as possible and no longer than five school days from the time the complaint and/or appeal is introduced.
- If following a conversation and/or meeting with the ReNEW Director of Culture or ReNEW CEO has not resolved the situation to the satisfaction of the students or parents, the matter should be taken to the Board of Directors. The chair of the board, Stephen Rosenthal, can be reached at srosenthal1000@gmail.com.
The student or parents may request that the Board of Directors appoint an advocate or representative from the respective school who has no direct involvement or conflict with the matter to participate with the Board to provide any input into the Board decision. The parent requesting a representative will be required to complete a release of student information form allowing the selective representative to view the student’s information. The appointed person will be required to execute a Confidentiality Agreement to maintain the integrity of the process and to protect any confidential information that may be necessary to disclose.
Emergency issues will be dealt with on an as-needed basis. The Board of Directors, as necessary, shall direct the school director or other responsible party to act upon the complaint and report its resolution to the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors shall render a final determination in writing, as necessary.
If after presentation of a complaint to the Board of Directors, the students or parents believe that the Board of Directors has not adequately addressed the complaint, they may present the complaint to the charter authorizer, Orleans Parish School Board (OPSB) which shall investigate and respond. The authorizer shall have the power and the duty to issue appropriate remedial orders to the Board of Directors of ReNEW.
The OPSB’s Family and Community Specialist can be contacted at (504) 359-5437. For more information on the disabilities complaint process, please see our website at www.renewschools.org.
Student Referral Program
Did you know that your school is part of the top performing open enrollment PreK through 8th grade charter network in New Orleans? Dolores T. Aaron and Laurel are both top 10 open enrollment elementary schools in the city.
We want to thank you for allowing us the opportunity to be a part of your child’s educational journey, and we want your neighbors and friends' children to be able to go to a great school too.
To receive the $25 gift card per child referred, a family must apply for enrollment at enrollnolaps.com or at a parent resource center. Shortly after that’s completed, the family will receive registration information from the ReNEW School that they have chosen.
The registration must be completed for the new student’s ReNEW school of choice and the parent or guardian must list your name as the person who referred them to a ReNEW school. Once the registration is completed with your name as the person who referred them, someone from the school will reach out to you to have you come in and pick up your gift card.
