§ 15.1-15-10 — Suspension during discharge proceeding - Compensation

1. The board of a school district may suspend an individual employed as a teacher, a
principal, or as an assistant or associate superintendent if, by unanimous vote, the
board determines that suspension is appropriate during the period in which a
discharge for cause is pursued.
2. The board shall address the matter of the individual's suspension in an executive
session, unless both the board and the individual agree that the matter may be
addressed in the presence of others or at an open meeting of the board.
3. If the individual is ultimately discharged for cause, the board may determine the
amount of compensation, if any, payable to the individual during the period of
suspension. If the individual is ultimately not discharged, the board may not apply any
reduction to the individual's salary for the period of suspension.
