Progressive Discipline Procedure. 14.1.1 The District agrees to administer discipline progressively, which means that actions such as warning and reprimands would precede suspension or dismissal except in cases where the seriousness of the problem justifies immediate suspension or suspension leading to dismissal. The burden of proof shall remain with the district. The purpose of this procedure is to secure at the lowest possible administrative level equitable solutions to the problems which from time to time arise with respect to employee performance. The employee may have CSEA representation at any or all stages of the discipline process.
