How to address problems at a K-8 school

Hello everyone.

I am a parent in a unified school district. Most elementary schools ate K-5, but several are K-8 schools. Our school has recently become K-8 and there are problems with the implementation. Among other things, there are behavior issues, staffing shortages, and design issues that parents believe are resulting from lack of district support for the school site.

A group of about 40 parents have made our concerns known, and our expectations clear with the assistant superintendent of education at the district office. We have a meeting scheduled for later this week.

My question is: What is the process to create positive change with the program? We are not talking to the DO to complain, we want to make the program better.

I understand we can go to the superintendent, and the board, but is there a usual course of action that is taken? Are all of these steps done at once? If you have been in a situation like this, what have you done to create positive change at your school?

On behalf of 40 other parents, we appreciate any input you can provide.
