It is the policy of the Board of Education to protect the students of this District from the influence of unfit classified employees.

The Board reserves the right to place a classified employee on sick leave or suspend a classified employee for physical or mental disability to perform assigned duties.

In the case of a classified employee who, in the opinion of a supervisor, is unfit to work in this District by reason of physical or mental condition, the classified employee will be offered the opportunity for a hearing which shall be conducted in accordance with law governing termination hearings.

If a classified employee fails to overcome the Superintendent's recommendation or fails to request an appearance before the Board within the time allowed, the Board shall order the classified employee to submit to an appropriate examination by:

Should the physician designated by the Board disagree with the physician designated by the classified employee, the two (2) physicians shall agree in good faith on a third, impartial physician who shall examine the classified employee and whose medical opinion shall be conclusive and binding on the issue of medical capacity to perform assigned duties. The expense of the third physician shall be borne equally by both parties.

If, as a result of such examination, the classified employee is found to be unfit to perform assigned duties, s/he shall be placed on leave with such compensation to which s/he is entitled until proof of recovery, satisfactory to the Superintendent is furnished.

Should a classified employee refuse to submit to examination following the exhaustion of proper appeals, the Board shall consider the certification of charges for reasons of insubordination.
