Many board members won’t even know the steps themselves - on a board we don’t focus on those operational issues or who the principal reports too (if a large district with layers between principals and super). It would be more effective to talk to a parent who might have had to go over a principal’s head in the past or to call the district office (assuming this is public) and ask (anonymously if you want) or to see if the policy manual is online with how to resolve or report issues. Sorry, just in my experience, talking to board members you have a relationship with isn’t really helpful and can be counterproductive. A letter to the full board if all else fails, may get on the radar but boards really don’t do operations.
