Hearing Before the Board Clause Samples

Hearing Before the Board a. Any resident of the municipality or Board member who believes that an officer should recuse him or herself from a matter because of a conflict of interest or that the officer should provide a disclosure statement regarding his or her conflict of interest in the matter, may file a complaint with the Village Clerk or a Village Board member. b. Upon receipt of the complaint, a presentation may be made at the next Board meeting. After the presentation the public officer shall leave the meeting during the discussion of the complaint and the Board shall consider all the evidence. The Board shall issue a written decision as to whether the official shall be required to recuse him or herself from the matter and state the reasons for that decision.

Hearing Before the Board. If a staff member, after following proper channels (immediate supervisor and the succeeding list of authority), desires a hearing before the Board of Education or committee of the Board, governing any matter which could adversely affect the continuation of that staff member in his/her position, salary, or any increment pertaining thereto, the staff member shall be entitled to have a representative of the Association or legal counsel present to advise or represent him/ her during such hearing. The Board shall also retain the right to legal counsel. This provision does not require the Board to provide pre-termination hearings to non-tenured teachers.
