Formal Discipline. When the District seeks to impose formal discipline (demotion, suspension, dismissal), notice of such discipline shall be made in writing and served in person or by registered or certified mail upon the employee. The notice shall indicate (1) the specific charges against the employee, including specific details of the chargeable action(s) or omission(s); (2) the proposed penalty; and (3) a statement of the employee's right to make use of the appeal and hearing procedure (Xxxxxx) to dispute charges or proposed penalty. The penalty proposed shall not be imposed until the employee has exhausted all rights under the appeal and hearing procedure. When necessary, an employee may be placed on administrative leave with pay by the District, pending the outcome of the appeal and hearing process. An employee shall not be suspended for a period of more than ten (10) work days without the prior approval of the Board of Trustees. Nothing in this provision shall be deemed to circumvent due process rights.
