Personal Property Insurance
-
A self-Insurance fund is available for employees for the purpose of reimbursing employees for personal property that is stolen or vandalized during authorized working hours. Benefits eligible employees may participate in the insurance plan by providing an annual contribution of $5.
Any participating employee who has personal property stolen or vandalized during working hours on school district property, through no fault of the participating employee, may apply for reimbursement. The reimbursement will be made for the repair or replacement of the property up to a maximum of $250 or the participating employee’s insurance deductible, whichever is less, provided the participating employee files a police report on the damaged or stolen item within 24 hours of occurrence. Non-refundable contributions received from employees during open enrollment in this plan will be deposited in the insurance fund.
