Communication

The Athenian Academy of Technology and the Arts Charter School is committed to resolving parent and public concerns to the best of the school’s ability. To that end, the school has the following problem resolution/notification policy:

If you are a parent and have not been satisfied with the resolution of an issue after speaking with your child’s teacher,

OR,

If you have contacted the school regarding a concern and have not been satisfied with the response,

THEN,

You may contact the Assistant Principal, Danielle Dudley. If you are still not satisfied with the response, you may contact the Principal, Evan Markowitz. If you have further concerns, you may contact the school’s Administrator, Daniel Rishavy. Additionally, if you have further concerns, you may contact the Governing Board’s selected parent liaison, James Mathieu.

Also, any person may address the Governing Board for up to three minutes at the beginning of Governing Board Meetings.

Procedures for parents to notify the school of concerns relating to parental rights in education can be found at this link: Parental rights in education F.S. 1001.42 (8)(c) expressed concerns. Step 1 refers to our process above. In order to raise a concern, the parent or guardian must first summarize the nature of the concern in writing, specifically describing the factual issues.
