INSURANCE FOR SUPPORT PERSONNEL
It is the policy of the Board that appropriate fringe benefits, such as various forms of insurance and unemployment benefits, be included in compensation provisions for support staff as authorized by law. The Board shall select the insurance company(ies) from which the insurance program is purchased.
The business office of the school district will administer such health and accident insurance plans according to the terms found in the support personnel handbook.
Workers’ Compensation
District employees are covered under the Workers’ Compensation Act, and are entitled to its benefits under the terms of the law. Premiums for participation in the Workers’ Compensation Insurance Plan are paid entirely by the district. All benefits will be coordinated with sick leave payments.
Unemployment Insurance
Under federal and state law, public school districts are liable for unemployment benefits paid to former employees. The Board, upon recommendation by the superintendent, will select a method for financing the unemployment liability; maintain such records as may be required; and communicate such information to state agencies as the law may require.
