Procedure for Termination for Cause. Before terminating a unit member's contract, the Board must furnish the unit member written notice of its intention to consider the termination of such contract. The notice shall include full specification of the grounds upon which the Board intends to consider termination. The Board may suspend a unit member pending final action to terminate the contract if, in the Board's judgment, the character of the charges warrants such action. Within ten (10) days after a unit member has received such notice, the unit member may file with the Treasurer of the Board a written demand for a hearing before either the Board or a referee. The Board also has the right to demand that the hearing be held before a referee. The Board must schedule the hearing to be held within thirty (30) days from the receipt of the written demand, and the Treasurer shall give the unit member at least twenty (20) days’ notice in writing of the time and place of such hearing. If the hearing is to be before a referee, the Treasurer must also give notice to the Superintendent of Public Instruction. No hearing may be held during summer vacation without the unit member's consent. If the hearing is to be held before the Board, the hearing must be conducted by a majority of the members of the Board. In preparing the charges for termination, it is important that the Board confine the hearing to the grounds given for termination.
