DAMAGE TO EMPLOYEE’S PERSONAL PROPERTY
The Orleans Parish School Board shall reimburse an employee for loss of personal property due to theft or vandalism in an amount up to $250.00 of uninsured loss. Personal property shall be defined as property that belongs to the employee and that is customarily worn, carried, or brought onto School Board property by the employee. Loss of currency shall not be reimbursed.
When employees bring electronic equipment to school, they shall register the equipment, in advance, in the school office, identified by make, model, and serial number. Every employee shall be required to take all reasonable precautions to prevent the loss or theft of any property. The reimbursement of personal property covers intentional acts of theft or vandalism, and not acts of negligence such as automobile accidents that may occur on School Board property.
Any employee who seeks reimbursement pursuant to this policy shall submit the required claim report form to the Human Resources department.
DAMAGES TO EMPLOYEE VEHICLES
The School Board shall not be responsible for damages to glass, exterior body parts, or mechanisms of vehicles on a school campus due to negligence except when damage is the direct result of school-owned and operated equipment. Proof of damage by school-owned and operated equipment must be witnessed by an adult, and a signed written report of such damage shall be made immediately following the incident.
