DISCIPLINARY ACTION

It shall be the policy of the Board of Education to apply the statutes of the state, the policies of this Board of Education and the regulations of the administration with equal consideration to each staff member.

The Superintendent or his/her designee shall prepare disciplinary rules for situations most often encountered which provide for progressive penalties including—where appropriate—verbal warnings, written warnings, nonrenewal of employees, withholding of an increment, dismissal of employees and referral of charges against employees. Such rules shall ensure nondiscriminatory application, differentiate between a second offense of the initial type and a “second offense” unlike that for which the employee was initially reprimanded, and ensure procedural due process.

Disciplinary rules shall be reviewed and approved by the Board of Education and shall include the provision that the Board of Education reserves the right to deduct pay for required service not performed including time lost through tardiness in accordance with its policies.
