The Board of Education recognizes the need for assault leave for an employee who suffers a physical disability as a result of an unprovoked attack which occurs in the course of employment in the District.

Payment for assault leave shall be at the employee's rate of pay in effect at the time of the assault or at such increased rate for which the employee may become eligible. Salary hereunder shall be mitigated by any salary compensation the employee may receive from any other source.

An employee who falsifies a claim for assault leave shall be disciplined by suspension or termination of employment. The Superintendent may require a physician's statement justifying the continuation of the assault leave at any time during the leave.
