3281 - PERSONAL PROPERTY OF STAFF MEMBERS

From time-to-time, staff members may wish to bring personal property to school either for reasons associated with their professional responsibilities or for use during off-duty time. The Board shall reimburse any teacher for any loss, damage, or destruction of personal property which occurs during such teacher’s reasonable performance of his/her employment, provided that the personal property involved is reasonably needed by the teacher personally or professionally and such property is not available through the Board, and provided further that the Board shall not be liable for loss, damage, or destruction of any vehicle used for transportation or of any items covered by insurance. Where appropriate, the Board will make an effort within the limits of facilities and economic resources to provide reasonable security for teachers’ vehicles while those vehicles are parked on school property during the regular school day, or scheduled school activity. The Board shall not be liable for loss, damage or destruction of any property arising from the teacher’s negligence. In all instances in which the Board is liable under the terms of this provision, the Board shall be liable only for that portion of the loss in excess of twenty-five dollars ($25) and shall have no liability for any portion of the total loss in excess of three hundred dollars ($300).

If the staff member needs to make personal calls during his/her off-duty time, s/he may use a Corporation telephone.
