PROFESSIONAL RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES. Such informal meeting shall take place within five (5) days after the teacher is notified of the pending charges. This informal conference is solely intended to afford the teacher in question advance knowledge of the proposed charges or recommendation and the basis thereof, and an opportunity to fully express him/herself with respect to such charges prior to initiation of formal procedures under the Teachers’ Tenure Act or before the Board of Education. It is to be understood, however, that situations may arise where immediate suspension of a teacher with pay may be deemed necessary because such a preliminary conference cannot be scheduled.
