Sufficient Cause Clause Samples

Sufficient Cause. The Board may assess a reasonable fine upon, suspend from office, or discharge the Division Superintendent for sufficient cause in accordance with the provisions of Section 22.1-65 of the Code of Virginia or any successor provision of any future enactment of the Virginia Code. As employed herein, “sufficient cause” may include, but is not limited to, material breach of this Agreement, forfeiture of office, immorality, non-compliance with school laws and regulations, willful non-compliance with Board policies and regulations, conviction of a felony or a misdemeanor as set forth in Section 22.1-296.1 of the Code of Virginia (or an equivalent offense in another state or under federal law), any one of the reasons given in Sections 24.2-231, 24.2-232, or 24.2-233 of the Code of Virginia, or for other good and sufficient cause which renders the Division Superintendent unfit to continue his duties. In the event the Division Superintendent is terminated for sufficient cause pursuant to Section 22.1-65 of the Code of Virginia, then all salary and benefits shall cease as of the effective date of such termination. Prior to imposition of a fine, suspension from office, or discharge for sufficient cause, the Division Superintendent will be entitled to written notice and will have the right to (i) appear before the Board in Closed Session; (ii) be represented at the hearing by a representative of the Division Superintendent’s choice provided that the cost of any such representative shall be paid by the Superintendent personally; (iii) receive a written decision setting forth the decision of the Board; and (iv) appeal any decision of the Board to the Circuit Court of Alexandria City, Virginia. This provision does not constitute any waiver of any rights the Board or the Division Superintendent may have to enforce this Agreement in a court of law.
