This report shall be forwarded to the Board which shall comply with any reasonable request from the unit member for information in its possession relating to the incident or the persons involved and shall act in appropriate ways as liaison between the unit member, the police and the courts, if necessary.
D. A unit member may use such force as is necessary within the scope of employment to protect one from physical attack by a student, or other person, or to prevent injury to another student. Any case of assault upon a unit member shall be promptly reported to the Board or its designated representative, in most cases the principal.

Such payment shall be 34 terminated in the event satisfactory medical proof is not provided at the request of 35 the District to certify that the unit member is unable to resume his/her duties. 36 The District shall reimburse unit members for reasonable cost of replacing or 37 repairing dentures, eyeglasses, hearing aid, or similar bodily appurtenances not 38 covered by worker’s compensation which are damaged, destroyed, or lost as a result 39 of an assault suffered by a unit member while the unit member was acting in the 40 discharge of his/her duties within the scope of his/her employment, when the unit 41 member has not been personally negligent with reference to the incidence.
