Personal Injury/Assault. Whenever an employee is absent as a result of personal injury caused by battery arising out of or in the course of their employment, and when investigation by the administration indicates they used reasonable judgment, they shall be paid their full salary less any other Board-provided or state-provided compensation or disability benefits except negotiated fringe benefits for the period of such absence without having such absence charged to their accumulated temporary leave. Payment for such absence shall not extend beyond the end of the employee’s current contract. In other similar cases where an employee loses time as a result of their following Board or administrative policy, at its discretion, the Board may excuse such absence without such loss of pay or temporary leave.
Personal Injury/Assault. Employees shall report immediately, in writing, on a District-approved form, to the Superintendent or his/her designees all instances resulting in personal injury suffered by them in connection with their employment and all relevant facts pertaining to the incident. If an employee has been assaulted by a student or fellow employee, the Superintendent or his/her designee shall investigate the incident and, to the extent permissible under FERPA and the Illinois Student Records Act, notify the employee within ten (10) working days of a determination and the actions taken, if any, to safeguard against future assaults by the individual involved.
