If, after presentation of the complaint to the Board of Trustees of
a charter school, the individual or group determines that the Board has
not adequately addressed the complaint, the complainant may present the
complaint to the charter entity or their designee, which shall investigate
and respond. If, after presentation of the complaint to the charter entity
or their designee, the individual or group determines that the charter
entity has not adequately addressed the complaint, the complainant may
present the case to the Board of Regents, which shall investigate and
