Whenever it becomes necessary to discipline a member of the staff, the Board of Education directs the Superintendent to utilize related procedures described in the current negotiated agreement, if applicable. All matters that could involve teacher discharge or suspension over three (3) days from the District must be dealt with in accordance with the Teacher Tenure Act.

Using due-process procedures, the Superintendent shall conduct an investigation, as appropriate to the situation, including providing the employee with reasonable notice and the opportunity to respond.
