What this document actually says
This is a school board policy stating that Reed Union School District will not reimburse employees for their personal property (like phones, laptops, clothing, etc.) that is stolen, damaged, or destroyed while being used for work-related purposes. The policy was originally adopted in September 2005 and last revised in October 2022. It is currently in draft status. The policy references California Education Code sections related to property damage liability and reimbursement, as well as the district's risk management and insurance policies. This is a clear statement that employees use personal items at their own risk.
What this means for your family
This policy does not directly impact students or families. It is an internal employment policy that affects district staff members who choose to use their personal belongings (like computers, phones, or other equipment) for work purposes. Staff members should understand they won't be reimbursed if those items are damaged or stolen at work.
