Have a Problem With a Faculty Member?
Student Grievance Procedure: As according to LC Campus Guide
Student grievances may involve
academic matters, administrative matters, disciplinary action under the
student conduct code or alleged discrimination charges, which will be
handled through a regular chain of authority. A student who is not
satisfied with a decision at one level may appeal the grievance in
writing to the next level of authority. The President or President’s
designee is the final authority in any grievance except discrimination
grievances where the Board of Trustees is the final authority.
In grievances involving academic matters, students should first consult
with the instructor concerned. Every attempt should be made to resolve
the grievance at this point of origin. If necessary, the student may
process a grievance, in writing, through the levels of Coordinator,
Associate Vice-President, Academic Dean and College President.
In grievances involving disciplinary action under the Student Conduct
Code, the student should first consult with the responsible office
administrator. If necessary, the student should proceed, in writing,
through the levels of appropriate Associate Dean or Director,
appropriate Dean, and College President.
In grievances involving alleged discrimination because of race, creed,
color, sex, religion, national origin/ancestry, disability, sexual
preference or age as prohibited by applicable federal or state law, the
student should first consult the Vice-President of Student Life who will
handle the grievance. Appeals may be made to the College President and
the Board of Trustees.
Grievances should be submitted in writing at each level of review within
ten school days of the action being grieved or within ten school days of
the decision on appeal. Written response will normally be made to the
student within ten school days, unless circumstances require additional
time for consideration.
All written complaints received by the school must be shared with its
accreditor, the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools, but
student identities will remain confidential.
If grievance results in a fact-finding hearing, the student will be
informed in writing of the date, time, location and subject of the
hearing. A Vice-President or Dean has the right to temporarily suspend a
student until the hearing process can be completed.
The complaints will be described and examined at a meeting of the
accuser, the accused, the appropriate Vice-President, Dean, advisor and
assistants that either party wishes to bring. The appropriate
Vice-President or Dean must be notified within two days of the hearing
regarding anyone other than the principal parties who will be attending.
The appropriate Vice-President or Dean will have five school days
following the hearing to consult again with all parties, as may be
necessary, and render a decision.
This decision may be appealed in writing to the College President within
ten school days of receipt of the decision. In grievances involving
alleged discrimination, the decision of the College President may be
appealed to the Board of Trustees within ten school days of the receipt
of the decision.
If you are dismissed, application must be made in writing to the
appropriate Vice-President before readmission will be considered.
Readmission to LC will be dependant on the student’s ability to document
that the behaviors that led to their dismissal have been fully
remediated. If the student is not satisfied with the decision of the
Vice-President, they may appeal in writing to the College President. |

By Layla Clark

For those with
children who need childcare and elementary education, LC offers the
Montessori Children’s House.
The facility is located next to the River Bend Arena.
All the classes at Montessori are integrated. The children’s curriculum
includes “Practical Life” Exercises, sensorial development, language
training, mathematics, science, computer basics, geography, history,
art, music, physical education, Spanish, carpentry, gardening, plant and
pet care and field trips. They offer a computer lab and a library.
Office Manager Sherri Black said “I had two girls enrolled here until
they were in the 6th grade at the Montessori Children’s House. They are
well organized and very self-motivated”.
The Montessori Method and it’s principles are: Absorbent Mind, Sensitive
Periods, Prepared Environment and a good yet interesting curriculum.
Day Care is provided on a priority basis to students, faculty and staff
from 7:15 am to 5 pm, Mon. through Fri.

student rates, you must provide a current schedule of classes each
semester. The school also accepts DCFS and CHASI subsidiaries.
Billing occurs on a weekly basis and a current total is available each
month. Payment must be made at least every other week. If your balance
exceeds 100 dollars, your child may be asked to stay out of school until
your balance is current. Your balance can be found on a clipboard
located on the desk in the After-school Program room.
Before-and-after-school care is provided from 7 am until 5:30 pm.
Parents are urged to call early for enrollment as demand for childcare
is consistently high. There are limited numbers of openings available.

Dr. Maria Montessori (1870-1952) was truly a revolutionary educator. She
believed that the goal of education should be not to fill a child with
facts but to cultivate his or her own natural desire to learn. Dr.
Montessori eventually gave up her medical practice altogether and spent
the next 50 years perfecting her approach to education. The Montessori
Children’s House and Day Care are registered with the state of Illinois
and the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services. It is a
non-profit organization and is a member of the American Montessori
Society.
