DISCIPLINE OF EMPLOYEES. Section 1 Employees may be disciplined, suspended, and discharged only for good reason. The employer shall utilize corrective progressive discipline in such cases and shall initiate action within thirty (30) workdays of becoming aware of an employee’s conduct giving rise to such action. It is understood and agreed that corrective progressive discipline allows the Board to skip lower levels of discipline and impose higher levels of discipline, including discharge, so long as there is good reason for the discipline which is imposed based upon the employee’s conduct and/or disciplinary history. Section 2 Should the disciplinary action be reversed through the grievance process, the related records shall be amended or expunged from the employee’s personnel file. Section 3 In all cases involving disciplinary action or discharge, union representation shall be made available prior to such action, except in cases involving probationary employees.
