The ESD's function as support and technical assistance agencies to schools and school districts. The ESDs have the responsibility to process objective and timely investigations of complaints made against schools and school districts. The ESD has a responsibility to respond to your complaint in writing. Send a copy of your letter to the Superintendent of your child's school district. It is a good idea to try to obtain as much evidence of the alleged teacher misconduct as possible and to document everything.
Evidence can include a doctor's visit, witness statements, police reports and photographs.
You can include copies of all of these things with your letter. The purpose of the information in your letter is to convince the ESD and school district to forward your complaint to the Washington State Office of Ethics and Professional Conduct. Generally, this office will only take action upon a referral from the ESD or school district. Therefore, it is essential that your letter generates their support. This sounds really helpful.
