Designate a Physician for Workers’ Compensation

In order to ensure that you will be eligible to be treated by your personal physician during a workers’ compensation, employees may complete the Designate a Physician form. The Emergency Information Card is not the Designate a Physician form and cannot be substituted for the appropriate form. Without the completed form received by Risk Management prior to a workers’ compensation claim, the District will require you to receive medical treatment from a District selected physician.

The Designate a Physician form is available through Risk Management (extension 7919) or your site secretary. The form will remain current with Risk Management for the duration of your employment with the District. Should you want to change your designated physician contact Risk Management.

If you have 7 years of consecutive service in the District, you are eligible for a sabbatical. Applications will be considered for the purpose of travel, projects, and/or study which will benefit the schools and pupils of the District. Sabbatical may be for one or two semesters.
