STAFF DISCIPLINE

The Board of Education retains the right and the responsibility to manage the work force.  When the discipline of a staff member becomes necessary, such action shall be in proportion to the employee’s offense or misconduct, consistent with appropriate procedural and substantive due process, State law, and/or the specific provisions of any applicable collective bargaining agreement. All matters that could involve discharge from the District must be dealt with in accordance with R.C. 3319.16.

The Superintendent will file a report with the Ohio Department of Education, in accordance with Policy 8141 and State law, concerning the professional staff member’s pleading guilty to or conviction of certain specified crimes and/or where it is reasonably determined that the professional staff member has engaged in conduct which is unbecoming of the teaching profession under certain specific circumstances as defined therein.
