The PWCS Office of the Ombudsman was developed with the School Board's adoption of Board Policy 180. The purpose of the Office of the Ombudsman is to provide parents, students, and members of the school community with access to an independent, impartial individual who can facilitate informal resolution of concerns, conflicts, and problematic issues arising within PWCS, and who is authorized to bring systemic and organizational concerns to the attention of the School Board and Division Superintendent (or designee) for resolution.
