Notwithstanding section3319.141of the Revised Code, the board of education of a city, exempted village, local or joint vocational school district may adopt a policy of assault leave by which an employee who is absent due to physical disability resulting from an assault which occurs in the course of board employment will be maintained on full pay status during the period of such absence. A board of education electing to effect such a policy of assault leave shall establish rules for the entitlement, crediting, and use of assault leave and file a copy of same with the department of education and workforce. A board of education adopting this policy shall require an employee to furnish a signed statement on forms prescribed by such board to justify the use of assault leave. If medical attention is required, a certificate from a licensed physician, certified nurse-midwife, clinical nurse specialist, or certified nurse practitioner stating the nature of the disability and its duration shall be required before assault leave can be approved for payment. Falsification of either the statement or the certificate is grounds for suspension or termination of employment under section3311.82or3319.16of the Revised Code.

Assault leave granted under rules adopted by a board of education pursuant to this section shall not be charged against sick leave earned or earnable under section3319.141of the Revised Code or leave granted under rules adopted by a board of education pursuant to section3311.77or3319.08of the Revised Code. This section shall be uniformly administered in those districts where such policy is adopted.
