The Board of Education directs that all reasonable efforts be made to ensure a safe learning and working environment for the students and employees of this District. To that end, so that legitimate employee claims for worker's compensation be expedited, the Board requires that accidents evaluated and reported when appropriate. Any accident that is evaluated as needing documentation according to administrative guidelines must be reported promptly and in writing. Injured persons should follow procedures outlined in the District Crisis Manual.

The injured employee, visitor, or the staff member responsible for an injured student shall complete a form that includes the date, time, and place of the incident; the names of persons involved; the nature of the injury to the extent that it is known; and a description of all relevant circumstances.

Any employee of the Board who suffers a job-related injury must report the injury and its circumstances to the principal or job supervisor, as appropriate, as soon as possible following the occurrence of the injury. The failure of an employee to comply with this mandate may result in disciplinary action.
