What should be done if the allegation involves their site administrator?

• A. File with CPS directly and ignore internal process.
• B. Notify only their union.
• C. Post on internal bulletin board.
• D. Inform the Local District Superintendent or Staff Relations/HR Labor Representative.

Answer: (D)

When the person accused is the site administrator, the report should be escalated through district-level channels to ensure an impartial, formal investigation and proper coordination with any required authorities. Informing the Local District Superintendent or Staff Relations/HR Labor Representative places the matter in the hands of officials who oversee district-wide procedures, maintain appropriate confidentiality, and safeguard both students and staff. This route helps prevent conflicts of interest, ensures consistent follow-up, and aligns with established reporting processes.

Directly filing with CPS and bypassing internal procedures isn’t appropriate because it sidesteps the district’s formal investigation framework. Notifying only the union or posting on an internal bulletin board also fails to initiate a formal, confidential investigation and could compromise safety and privacy.
