§ 1297 County School Employee Insurance

This law says that anyone hired by the county superintendent to teach or supervise teaching in county schools is treated as a county employee for workers' compensation insurance, and the county pays the insurance cost from its school fund.

Key Takeaways

  • •Teachers and supervisors hired by the county superintendent are considered county employees for workers' compensation insurance.
  • •The county must provide workers' comp coverage for those employees.
  • •The cost of that insurance is paid from the county school service fund.

Example

A teacher is hired by the county superintendent to teach math at a high school in the county.

Because the teacher works for the county superintendent, the county counts the teacher as a county employee for workers' comp insurance, and the county pays the insurance premium from the county school service fund.
