Filing a Formal Complaint

The Manhattan Beach Unified School District is committed to upholding the rights of all school stakeholders to access the benefits of public education in a supportive, equitable and caring environment.  Should you have concerns about any type of misconduct, harassment, bullying, or non-compliance with Board policies, or State or Federal laws, you may file a formal complaint by using the District’s Consolidated Complaint Form.


A description of the types of formal complaints that can be filed may be found on the form, as well as in the references to Board Policies and Administrative Regulations below.

Although complaints may be filed anonymously, confidentiality cannot be assured in all cases.  Additionally, the ability to successfully investigate a complaint and take any subsequent necessary corrective action often depends on the willingness of individuals to substantiate the claims alleged in their complaint.

Anyone wishing to file a formal complaint anonymously using the Consolidated Complaint Form should use the name “anonymous” and the email [email protected] to initiate the complaint.  All other required fields can be completed with “declined to state”.

Retaliation against individuals providing information related to any complaint is prohibited under numerous State and Federal laws.  Retaliation includes any attempt to coerce, harass, intimidate, threaten, cajole, dissuade, or in any other way discriminate against a witness.  Disciplinary measures will be imposed on any individuals engaged in retaliation against complainants or witnesses.
