Written Reprimand (School District record). If said conduct continues, a written reprimand may be given to an employee. The written warning shall be dated and signed by the supervising administrator and shall include a complete description of the incident or problem, referring to specific times, dates, locations, personnel involved, and rules violated. The written warning shall also describe the steps the employee must take to prevent further disciplinary action from occurring. The employee will be notified that further problems may result in more severe disciplinary action up to and including discharge. The written warning shall be given to the employee in private. The employee shall sign the original reprimand which will not necessarily imply that the employee agrees with the contents of the written warning, but only that the employee received it. The written warning shall not be used as the basis for further progressive discipline if no other disciplinary action occurs within twelve (12) months from the date of the written warning unless the behavior for which the reprimand was issued originally is repeated. Performance Improvement Plan may be considered at this step of the progressive disciplinary process.
