File a Complaint

The Manteca Unified School Board recognizes that the District has the responsibility to ensure it complies with applicable state and federal laws and regulations governing complaints involving personnel and programs. Every complaint is taken seriously. In order to address all complaints in a fair, legal, and professional manner, individuals making complaints are asked to adhere to the procedures listed below.

Step 1: Informal Complaint Process

Share your concerns directly with the person with whom you have the concern and/or their immediate supervisor.

If your complaint is not resolved, go to the next step. If your complaint involves discrimination or harassment, you may go to the next section.

Step 2: Formal Complaint Process

A formal complaint means putting it in writing.

Mail or email a complaint to your school principal or to the Human Resources Department at P.O. Box 32, Manteca, CA 95336 or complaints@musd.net.

Complaint forms are available on the District website, www.mantecausd.net, or by calling the District Complaint Compliance Office at (209) 858-0852.
