WITHHOLDING INCREMENT

The Board of Education recognizes that from time to time a noncertified staff member will fail to improve upon an unsatisfactory performance or may grievously violate a policy or rule of the Morris School District, forcing the Board of Education to take disciplinary action against him/her.

No advancement on a salary guide, including annual increments and raises as set forth in guides now in effect or as may be adopted from time to time by the Board of Education, shall be considered automatic. Advancement on any such guide shall require favorable reports covering competence, performance of duties assigned, and record of attendance of each employee.

When the Board of Education resolves to withhold an increment, it shall state the salary the employee is to receive.
