It is recognized by the Board that in the course of performing these and other assigned duties, acts of physical assault upon the support teacher may occur. To insure that such individual’s rights are protected, it is necessary that proper procedures be followed when such instances arise. Procedures to be followed: a. A support teacher who has been physically assaulted in connection with the performance of a professional assignment of this Board, shall notify his/her appropriate supervisor immediately. Within twenty-four (24) hours of the incident the support teacher will make every attempt to provide his/her supervisor with a written report of the incident. Such report shall be signed by the support teacher or his/her representative. b. The principal or designated representative shall attempt to obtain a list of witnesses to said assault. The principal shall then attempt to obtain a written statement of the observations of each witness. c. As soon as possible, copies of the support teacher’s report and the written statements and observations of each witness shall be forwarded to the President of the SHTA and to the Board through the Superintendent’s office. Copies of the witnesses’ statements will also be given to the support teachers involved. d. If court action results, said support teacher and any witnesses shall be granted leave of their professional duties and a certified/licensed substitute will be provided with no loss of pay (personal or sick leave) for days in court and as may be requested by their legal counsel, court officials, and law enforcement officers. e.

In the event a delayed award by Workers’ Compensation results in a total combined payment to the support teacher which results in an amount equal to more than the support teacher’s normal per diem rate, the excess payment will be returned to the Board. i. A support teacher temporarily disabled as a result of a physical assault shall be returned to the same position as held at the time of the incident, and shall be entitled to automatic salary schedule increments upon his/her return to work. j.
