The following benefits will be provided for any regular permanent employee including
interim teachers under contract, but excluding substitute employees, who are
disabled as the direct result of an accident which is suffered in the course
of the employee's performing the duties of his/her employment with the Board
and is not the result of the employee's negligence.
During the first two (2) months of disability, the employee shall receive 100%
of his/her normal pay. After the second month of disability, the employee shall
receive 50% of his/her normal pay for the remaining period of disability up to
one (1) year.
Disability as used herein shall mean the total inability of the employee to carry
out his/her duties. Proof of such disability may be required as deemed proper,
including a medical examination by a physician who may be selected by the Board
in which event the expense of such examination shall be borne by the Board.
The Board will pay for necessary and reasonable medical expenses for on-the-job
injury sustained by an employee while performing his/her duties, provided such
injury has resulted from causes other than personal or professional negligence.
Total payments by the Board for said medical expenses incurred following date
of injury shall not exceed ten ($10,000.00) thousand dollars and no medical expense
shall be paid for any on-the-job injury in excess of one (1) year. The benefits
provided above shall be coordinated with the Board's Hospitalization Insurance
Plan, or any other personal insurance plan or group insurance plan if and when
the employee has such coverage. In case of such injury, the Board reserves the
right to have the employee examined by a physician designated by the Board at
such time or times as it may determine in its discretion to assist in ascertaining
the nature and extent of disability attributed to the injury.
In order to qualify for any benefits described above, an employee must give notice
of the accident to his immediate supervisor on the day the accident occurs unless
the employee is prevented by disability from the accident from giving such notice.
Provisions will be made for teachers injured in the course of employment by a
violent criminal act as prescribed by law.
