The Board of Governors, or School Board as we like to refer to them, operates under the Carver Model of Policy Governance, which allows the board to set long-term goals for the school and makes sure those goals are being worked on and met rather than being driven by making decisions on issues. The school administration manages the school according to these long-term goals within parameters set by the board to protect the mission and vision of Dalat and the families the board serves.
Complaint & Grievance Procedures
For classroom or academic concerns, please contact the teacher directly before escalating the matter to the principal. Issues regarding social and emotional well-being should be directed to the counselor, while all financial inquiries belong to the Finance Office.
If a resolution is not reached at these levels, parents may contact the Head of School. As a final step, unresolved grievances may be shared with a School Board member, after which the Board Chairman will decide if the matter requires a formal Board discussion or a final ruling by the Head of School.
