Withholding of Increment. The salary guide has been constructed so as to recognize professional improvement and competency. Although normal progress on the guide is the attainment of the next highest step for the subsequent school year, this progression is not automatic. Movement from one step on the guide to the next step is dependent upon satisfactory service and the recommendation of the Superintendent of Schools, in addition to experience. The Board may withhold, for inefficiency or other good cause, the annual increment or adjustment increment or both. Increments may be withheld upon a majority vote of the full Board and a written notice to the teacher giving the reason(s) for the withholding of the increment. Such written notice shall be forwarded to the teacher within ten (10) days of the Board's action.
