Cause for Discipline. 9.1.1 Disciplinary actions by the District shall be intended as a corrective measure. Disciplinary action includes but is not limited to: dismissal, demotion, suspension, or disciplinary transfer. “Disciplinary action” includes any action whereby a unit member is deprived of any classification or any incident of any classification in which the unit member has permanence, including dismissal, suspension, demotion, or any reassignment, without voluntary consent, except a layoff for lack of work or lack of funds. 9.1.2 No unit member shall be subject to discipline, warnings, reprimands, demotion, or suspension except for just cause and, in accordance with principles of progressive discipline consistent with the nature of the offense, as stated in Personnel Commission rules. 9.1.3 The purpose of progressive discipline is to ensure that the unit member is aware of the District’s expectations so that there is a reasonable opportunity to conform conduct to those expectations and avoid disciplinary action. 9.1.4 No disciplinary action against a permanent unit member shall be based upon any cause which arose prior to the unit member’s becoming permanent. No progressive disciplinary action shall be based on causes that are more than two years old, i.e., similar infractions that have not reappeared over a two-year period.
