The Employee Reimbursement Program may reimburse the cost to repair damage to an automobile owned by an employee if it is vandalized while parked on or immediately adjacent to school grounds or other District premises and reasonable precautions were taken. If such a loss is otherwise covered by the employee's automobile insurance, reimbursement is limited to the insurance deductible. Collision is not covered.

Registered property and items such as a briefcase, handbag, prescription glasses, or a watch, which must be necessarily worn or carried at work, may be reimbursed only if reasonable precautions had been taken to secure the item and if the loss or damage is through no fault of the employee.

Any equipment brought by an employee to the work site (such as a computer, radio, set of books, tools, etc.) for use in the course of his/her duties and serves some educational purpose, must be registered with the site administrator by completing a Property registration form before the property is put into use.
