Established Process After a Complaint Is Filed
The Board's executive director will review the complaint to determine if there is a stated claim within the Board’s jurisdiction and if further investigation is called for. If it appears a violation has occurred, the Board will take additional steps.
If it appears that no violation has occurred, we will notify you. See 36-1C
