Administrators - Suspension
Official statutory text
Whenever the local board of education or the administration of a
school district has reason to believe that cause exists for the
dismissal of an administrator, and when they are of the opinion that
the immediate suspension of an administrator would be in the best
interests of the children in the district, the local board of
education or the superintendent of the school district may suspend
the administrator without notice or hearing. However, the
suspension of the administrator shall not deprive the administrator
of any compensation or other benefits to which he or she would
otherwise be entitled under his or her contract or pursuant to law.
Within ten (10) days' time after such suspension becomes effective,
the local board of education shall initiate proceedings pursuant to
Section 6-102.4 of this title to have the administrator dismissed.
However, in a case involving a criminal charge or indictment, such
suspension may extend to such time as the administrator's case is
finally adjudicated at a trial. Provided, however, such extension
shall not include any appeal process.
