URGENT UPDATE - This is an important opportunity for the public to provide input to the Minnesota State GAL Board. A group of concerned parents has been fighting for reform, and specifically asked to improve the complaint procedure so when you file a complaint against a Guardian it is actually heard and investigated. The Board responded and has published a draft of the proposed changes to the complaint procedure:

You can submit feedback to Program Admin Suzanne Alliegro via instructions on the site. OR you can contact this group of parents, and work together with them to give feedback. They may offer public comment at the next GAL Board meeting.

Thank you for re-posting this article about the proposed changes to the MN Guardian ad Litem complaint procedure.
ReplyDeleteUpdate: The Minnesota State GAL Board has adopted measures to improve the complaint procedure, which include a written complaint form, increased communication between the complaintant and the program, and an appeals method.
The revised complaint procedure can be viewed at: http://mn.gov/guardian-ad-litem/program-information/complaint-procedure.jsp
There are also monthly GAL Board meetings in which members of the public can offer feedback (in the first 15 min of the meeting, only) and get updates on the work of the Board.
