 School employees across the state will now receive their full salary and benefits if they are assaulted by a student on the job. During a Rutherford County Board of Education meeting Monday night, the Rutherford County School District approved a policy that aligns with the state law that went into effect earlier this month. In 2023, a bill was passed giving a teacher their full salary and benefit if assaulted on the job. Now that law applies to all school employees.
