Affirmative Action Complaint Form

Comprehensive Equity Plan

• All employees and applicants for employment have the right and are encouraged to immediately report suspected violations of the State Policy Prohibiting Discrimination in the Workplace, N.J.A.C. 4A:7-3.1.

   

• Complaint Reporting: Complaints of prohibited discrimination/harassment can be reported to the district’s Affirmative Action Officers (AA Officer: Dr. Robert S. Sutter, Assistant Superintendent of Human Resources) or to an individual’s supervisor or building administrator. If reporting a complaint to any of those persons presents a conflict of interest, the complaint may be filed directly to the Superintendent of Schools.  If reporting a complaint to the Superintendent presents a conflict of interest, the complaint may be filed directly with the Civil Service Commission, Division of EEO/AA, P.O. Box 315, Trenton, NJ 08625-0315.  An example of such conflict would be where the individual against whom the complaint is made is involved in the intake, investigative or decision making process.

   

  1. Supervisory employees shall immediately report all alleged violations of the State Policy Prohibiting Discrimination in the Workplace to the district’s Affirmative Action Officer Dr. Robert S. Sutter, (Assistant Superintendent of Human Resources). Such a report shall include both alleged violations reported to the supervisor, and those alleged violations directly observed by the supervisor.

  2. Every effort should be made to report complaints promptly. Delays in reporting may not only hinder a proper investigation, but may also unnecessarily subject the victim to continued prohibited conduct.

  3. In order to facilitate a prompt, thorough and impartial investigation, all complainants are strongly advised, but are not required, to submit a Discrimination Complaint Processing Form.

  4. The Parsippany- Troy Hills Township School District shall maintain a written record of the discrimination/harassment complaint received. Written records shall be maintained as confidential records to the extent practicable and appropriate.  The district’s AA Officer shall submit a copy of all complaints to the Civil Service Commission, Division of EEO/AA, along with a copy of the acknowledgement letter(s) sent to the person(s) who filed the complaint and, if applicable, the complaint notification letter sent to the person(s) against whom the complaint has been filed.  If a written complaint has not been filed, the district’s Affirmative Action Officer(s) must submit to the Division of EEO/AA a brief summary of the allegations that have been made. 

Please complete the form below and submit to Dr. Robert S. Sutter, Assistant Superintendent of Human Resources (Email Dr. Robert S. Sutte), located at PO Box 52, 292 Parsippany Road, Parsippany, NJ 07054.
