General Laws
Section 42D. The superintendent may
suspend any employee of the school district subject to the provisions of
this section. The principal of a school may suspend any teacher or
other employee assigned to the school subject to the provisions of this
section. Any employee shall have seven days written notice of the intent
to suspend and the grounds upon which the suspension is to be imposed;
provided, however, that the superintendent may, for good cause, require
the immediate suspension of any employee, in which case the employee
shall receive written notice of the immediate suspension and the cause
therefor at the time the suspension is imposed. The employee shall be
entitled (i) to review the decision to suspend with the superintendent
or principal if said decision to suspend was made by the principal; (ii)
to be represented by counsel in such meetings; (iii) to provide
information pertinent to the decision and to the employee's status.
No teacher or other employee shall be suspended for a period
exceeding one month, except with the consent of the teacher or other
employee, and no teacher or other employee shall receive compensation
for any period of lawful suspension.
No teacher shall be interrogated prior to any notice given to him
relative to the suspension unless the teacher or other employee is
notified of his right to be represented by counsel during any such
investigation. A suspended teacher or other employee may seek review of
the suspension by following the arbitration procedures set forth in
section forty-two. Nothing in this section shall be construed as
limiting any provision of a collective bargaining agreement with respect
to suspension of teachers or other employees
