A superintendent who suspects an employee has a substance abuse problem will follow these procedures:
1. Identification - the superintendent will document the evidence the superintendent has which leads the superintendent to conclude the employee has violated the
Substance-Free Workplace policy. After the superintendent has determined there has been a violation of the Substance-Free Workplace policy, the superintendent will
discuss the problem with the employee.
2. Discipline - if, after the discussion with the employee, the superintendent determines there has been a violation of the Substance-Free Workplace policy, the
superintendent may recommend discipline up to and including termination. Participation in a substance abuse treatment program is voluntary.
3. Conviction - if an employee is convicted of a criminal drug offense committed in the workplace, the employee must notify the employer of the conviction within five
days of the conviction.
