Procedure for disciplinary action
Official statutory text
A. After any suspension or prior to any demotion, termination
or nonreemployment, a support employee shall receive notice of the
right to a hearing. The hearing shall be conducted by the local
board of education. All notices shall be by certified mail, with
the postmark used to determine the timeliness of the notice.
Failure of the employee to request a hearing within ten (10) working
days of such notice shall be considered a waiver of the employee's
right to a hearing.
B. Nonreemployment shall mean nonrenewal of a support
employee's contract upon expiration of the contract.
C. If an employee is to be suspended for a period to exceed ten
(10) days, the superintendent of the district shall initiate
proceedings for termination and shall follow the procedures set
forth in subsection A of this section. However, in a case involving
a criminal charge or indictment, the suspension may be delayed until
the employee's case is adjudicated at the trial. Nothing in this
act shall prevent the school board from proceeding against the
employee during or after the suspension for termination as provided
in this act.
