Code Switch Justice Complaint Process
We can help you make sure your student’s rights are followed when a police interaction occurs at school and/or you believe a restorative justice process is best for a school-based discipline matter. Take the following steps to receive support for your family.
Send A Letter to the Principal
Send a letter via email to your student’s school Principal to give them permission to speak with your advocate from Code Switch. Include codeswitchlv@gmail.com, the VP & counselor assigned to the student, and the Superintendent of the School District on the Cc line.
