Conduct on Duty. An employee may be suspended when his/her inappropriate behavior is so serious that immediate removal from the work place is necessary. The employee shall be required to leave school district property pending investigation and the period of suspension shall be without pay. A suspended employee may not be permitted to work on his/her normal day(s) off, nor take paid leave time, nor make up the time by working overtime in lieu of a payroll deduction for the period of suspension. Some examples would be theft, gross insubordination, threat of violent action, destruction of district property, and violation of the School Board Drug Free Workplace Policies. When an investigation has been completed, the appropriate disciplinary step, if any, will be applied.
