Corrective Action
Levine Academy holds each of its employees to certain work rules and standards of conduct. When an employee deviates from these rules and standards, Levine Academy expects the employee’s supervisor to take corrective action. Corrective action at Levine Academy is progressive. That is, the action taken in response to a rule infraction or violation of standards typically follows a pattern increasing in seriousness until the infraction or violation is corrected. The usual sequence of corrective actions includes an oral warning, a written warning or a proviso/addendum to a renewal contract, probation (whether with or without pay is to be determined by the Head of School), and finally termination of employment. In deciding which initial corrective action would be appropriate, a supervisor will consider the seriousness of the infraction, the circumstances surrounding the matter, an d the employee’s previous record. Though committed to a progressive approach to corrective action, Levine Academy considers certain rule infractions and violations of standards as grounds for immediate termination of employment. These include but are not limited to:
theft in any form;
insubordinate behavior;
violations of the school’s expectations of confidentiality; vandalism or destruction of School property; repeated or serious violations of standards of moral conduct; repeated or serious violat ions of items listed in the “Professional Expectations” document included in all employee agreements; repeated or serious violations of conduct that detracts or impedes on the school’s aim to maintain a mutually supportive workplace environment — including backstabbing, trash-talking, gossiping, or spreading derogatory commentary about the school or its employees; being on school property during non-business hours and without permission; the use of school equipment and/or school vehicles without prior authorization by Head of School; untruthfulness about personal work history, skills, or training; divulging school business practices; and misrepresentations of Levine Academy to current or prospective students and families, donors, volunteers, the general public, or an employee.
