Module #2:
Grounds for Employee Discipline:
This workshop explores ways to establish valid and enforceable grounds for employee discipline within the context of a comprehensive and defensible Employee Code of Conduct using sources of authority such as federal laws, the Iowa Code, BOEE licensure guidelines, Board of Directors policies and collective bargaining agreements. Participants will survey the most frequent reasons for disciplinary actions against certified or support personnel before assessing the risks posed by each of these offenses from multiple vantage points. Session participants will also consider the impact of each offense on campus safety, school climate, the Common Core implementation and other influencers of student achievement.
