Joined by Attorney Markouc, Lisa and Miriam continue discussing the investigative process in disciplining employees.

Imagine a paraprofessional who meets with the school's HR director and informs her that the special-education teacher she assists behaves inappropriately and unkindly towards the children in class, many of whom have severe disabilities.  What are the immediate initial steps the HR director should take? What are the key DOs and DON'Ts in conducting such an investigation? Does it matter if the teacher's aide is a repeat complainer?
