4221 - DISCIPLINARY ACTIONS
In the event of an infraction of District rules by a classified employee, it shall be the policy of the Board of Education to apply the statutes of the State, these policies and the regulations of the District with equal consideration to each employee.
The Board reserves the right, within law, to impose penalties for disciplinary reasons. However, where a classified employee fails or refuses to perform contracted work without acceptable reason, the Superintendent may deduct, without further authorization, wages reasonably related to the time not worked.
The Superintendent shall prepare disciplinary rules for situations most often encountered which provide for progressive penalties including where appropriate:
| A. | verbal warning; | |
| B. | written warning; | |
| C. | suspension without pay. |
In the event that it is necessary to take disciplinary action against an employee, a notice in ordinary and concise language shall be sent to the employee specifying:
| A. | the specific acts and omissions upon which the disciplinary action is based; | |
| B. | a quotation of the rule or regulation which it is claimed the employee violated; | |
| C. | a date when the employee may be heard if s/he so wishes; | |
| D. | the penalty that may be suffered as a result of the employee's acts or omissions. |
