Legal Assistance to Employees

Employees who are assaulted or otherwise physically injured in the performance of official duties may, in appropriate cases, be eligible for Board of Education legal advice or assistance. If a claim is made or a suit filed against an employee individually by a student or other person arising out of the employee's performance of official duties, board attorneys may defend such employee in accordance with policy number P4770 (Protection of Employees Against Liability Claims). All contact with board attorneys must be made with the approval of the superintendent, deputy superintendent, or the appropriate associate superintendent.
