If a teacher believes that any document in the teacher’s personnel file, other than a formal performance evaluation, is inappropriate or inaccurate, the teacher may request that the file be reviewed by the principal of the school or by the administrator if the school is a state institution that provides elementary and secondary education to its students. If a teacher employed by a school district is dissatisfied with the outcome of the initial review, the teacher is entitled to have the file reviewed, upon written request, by the school district superintendent. If a teacher employed by a school district is dissatisfied with the outcome of the superintendent’s review, the teacher is entitled to have the file reviewed, upon written request, by the school board.
