A.             The City School District shall continue to make reasonable provisions as it deems adequate and necessary for the safety and health of its employees during the hours of their employment.

B.             No person shall be acceptable for employment unless physically fit for the work contemplated by the job for which the applicant is being considered. Every person hired after the effective date of this Agreement shall, as a condition of employment, be required to submit to a medical examination. This examination, to determine the physical and mental fitness of the person to perform applicant's duties shall, at the option of the applicant, be completed at no cost to the applicant by a medical doctor assigned by the Board of Education, or completed at the applicant's expense by any duly qualified and licensed medical doctor who shall submit a report and recommendation in such detail and form as may be required to the School Medical Director.

C.             All members of the unit shall be subject to, and comply with, all regulations pertaining to medical examinations and X-rays as issued from time to time by the School Medical Director.

D.             The District will reimburse employees for items of clothing, or other personal property which are damaged or destroyed when, in the course of employment, the employee becomes involved or engaged in situations which are unusual and/or do not regularly or normally occur, such as altercations between students and/or employees, non-aggravated assault, fire, riot, etc. Such reimbursement shall not be made in cases where the employee has been careless or negligent, and/or has not exercised prudent judgment by wearing or otherwise displaying or possessing items which are not normally worn, used, or displayed during such course of employment, or the employee is able to be otherwise reimbursed as a result of the employee's existing insurance coverage. In no instance, however, shall such reimbursement exceed four hundred dollars ($400.00) with regard to any claim which is processed under this section. The District shall not be liable for the reimbursement required by this Paragraph if the employee refuses or fails to file the necessary reports and institute the necessary proceedings to facilitate the police and District investigations and prosecutions for such incidents.
