WORKERS' COMPENSATION
The Calcasieu Parish School Board directs that all employees, (for the purposes of this section, the term employee shall include board members) shall be provided workers' compensation coverage while acting in their official capacity as an employee of the Board. Should an employee become injured while on duty, said employee shall be entitled to receive, the appropriate medical and wage benefits prescribed under state workers' compensation laws and/or appropriate sick leave benefits. In no case, however, shall the total amount of wage benefits received exceed the total amount of regular salary the employee was receiving at the time of injury.
Should an accident occur to an employee while in the course of his duties, a detailed report shall be submitted to the Superintendent or his designee by the employee's supervisor. Periodic medical exams and subsequent reports verifying prolonged disability may be required.
