The Risk Management department is a component of the Operations department which manages employee safety in the workplace and Worker’s Compensation. Employee safety and wellness are a priority of Chapel Hill Independent School District. Everyone plays an integral role in minimizing and/or preventing accidents, including employees, supervisors, and every level of school district administration.
We value our employees and strive to maintain a safe and healthy work environment. If you are unsure about workplace safety procedures or have suggestions for improving employee safety, please contact your immediate supervisor or contact us at 903-566-2441 ext. 2054.
Our Employees Matter!
Lost Time
If an individual loses time beyond the day of injury, they will need to contact the Risk Management Department in order to complete the necessary paperwork pertaining to time away from work.
This ensures that an individual is compensated accordingly.
An absence of five (5) or more days due to a work related injury or illness shall be designated as FMLA leave, temporary disability leave, and/or assault leave, as applicable. Please contact Kristi Lozano at (903) 566- 2441 or via email at lozanok@chapelhillisd.org, to discuss leave of absence eligibility and options.
Worker’s compensation is not a form of leave. The Workers Compensation law does not require the continuation of the District’s contribution to health insurance. Should you have any inquiries regarding benefits, please contact Kristi Lozano at (903) 566-2441
