Affirmative Action

The North Plainfield Board of Education affirms its responsibility to ensure all students equal educational opportunities regardless of sex, race, creed, color, religion, ancestry, national origin, social status, or economic status.

Dr. Robert Rich, Ms. Ann Caruso, and Ms. Linda Remolino have been designated by the Board of Education as affirmative action officers for the school district.

Dr. Rich can be reached at 769-6059, Ext. 6106;  Ms. Caruso at 769-6000, Ext. 3134;  and Ms. Remolino at 769-6000, Ext. 3118.  Ms. Jane Delaney  serves as the district officer for Section 504 of the Disabilities Act of 1973.  She can be reached at 769-6090, Ext. 2104.

Grievance Procedure

A student and/or parent/guardian should make every effort to resolve a grievance at an informal conference with the staff member directly involved.  This conference can be arranged through the principal's office or the superintendent's office. The affirmative action officer will be notified by the principal or the superintendent of the conference.

If the grievance cannot be resolved through an informal conference, the grievant must file a written affirmative action grievance form with the school principal. If the matter involves a district concern rather than a school concern, the grievance should be filed with the superintendent.
