File: GBGB - STAFF PERSONAL SECURITY AND SAFETY

Through its overall safety program and various policies pertaining to school personnel, the School Committee will seek to assure the safety of employees during their working hours.

Applicants offered a position in the district must successfully pass a pre-employment physical examination prior to the date of employment.

The Superintendent may require an employee to submit to a physical examination by a physician appointed by the school system whenever that employee's health appears to be a hazard to children or others in the school system or when a doctor's certificate is legally required to verify need for sick leave.

The district provides an employee assistance program for the benefit of its employees.
