Board Appointed Parent Involvement Representative (Parent Liaison)

Manatee School For the Arts will make every effort to resolve any issue, dispute, and concern. In the event that an issue cannot be resolved with the teacher or staff member, Mr. Luis Caro and Mrs. Jane Simon, our Assistant Principals, will help identify and find resolution.

If you have a concern, need to contact the Board, or would like to address the Board please reach out to Mr. Caro or Mrs. Simon at 941-721-6800 or at their respective emails lcaro@msa.raeschools.org and jsimon@msa.raeschools.org.

If the parent complaint cannot be resolved by MSA Administration within 7 days of the complaint, the issue will be referred to the school district. MSA Administration will cooperate with the district’s resolution procedures and comply with the district’s decision to resolve the complaint.

If the dispute cannot be resolved at the district level within 30 days, the parent may request the Florida Department of Education to appoint a Special Magistrate to hold a hearing and provide a recommended decision to the State Board of Education.
