Employee Relations

Office of Employee Relations

Prince William County Public Schools (PWCS) recognizes that bullying, unprofessional conduct, and/or harassment can interfere with job performance, emotional and physical well-being, and access to the school division's programs and services. PWCS is committed to fostering, cultivating, and preserving a culture of diversity and inclusiveness. We celebrate our diversity and we believe it makes us a stronger community when we listen and learn from one another, and we will provide the necessary resources and supports to eliminate barriers to success and foster a more equitable future for all our employees.

All PWCS staff will work together to provide a safe, caring, inclusive working environment where all employees are treated with dignity and respect.

The Office of Employee Relations focuses on promoting effective management practices and workplace behaviors, positive working environments, and relationships. The office supports individuals and departments on how to work through conflict that is not able to be resolved at the site level in order to make the work environment more positive, enjoyable, and productive.

Employee Relations Reporting Form

Any complaints concerning school officials and employees which allege improper conduct or a failure to fulfill job responsibilities shall be viewed seriously and investigated thoroughly. However, anonymous complaints will not be considered, unless the allegations pertain to criminal activity (e.g., child abuse, misappropriation of funds) or conduct injurious to the health, safety, and welfare of Prince William County Public Schools (PWCS) students. The appropriate Associate Superintendent or Chief and the Prince William County Department of Social Services must be notified immediately of any case where child abuse or neglect is alleged, even if the complaint is made anonymously, as required by Regulation 771-1, “Child Abuse and Child Neglect Reporting Procedures.”

This regulation does not apply to grievable actions covered by Regulations 508.01-1, “Procedures for Adjusting Grievances for Certificated Employees,” and 508.02-1, “Procedures for Adjusting Grievances for Classified and Licensed Employees,” nor to complaints of discrimination or harassment covered by Regulations 507-1, “Complaint Procedures for Claims of Discrimination and Harassment in Employment” or 507-2, “Sexual Harassment Involving Employees.”

Complaints of workplace bullying or an abusive work environment that are not based on membership in a protected class shall be reported and investigated under the procedures set forth in this regulation.
