Every effort will be made to report the findings within sixty days of receipt of the written complaint.

     (2) If the investigating officer determines that corrective action is needed, that officer will initiate discussions with the appropriate administrator to resolve the complaint. A formal investigation can be terminated at any time should a satisfactory resolution be reached before a written finding is made.

     (3) Upon completion of the investigation, the investigating officer will notify in writing the complainant and the appropriate administrator of the findings and recommendations.
