Workers' Compensation

Gonzales ISD strives to provide a safe and healthy learning environment for all students and staff so that the focus can be on student learning.

Workers’ Compensation Process 

All work-related injuries must be reported to your supervisor immediately and reported using the information listed below by following steps one through four. All injuries must be reported, even if you do not seek medical treatment.

IMPORTANT:  Workers’ Compensation will cover all medical expenses and may provide temporary income benefits if eligible. Employees may use available paid leave for doctor visits and to cover extended absences due to their work-related injury. For questions please call Sunny Jean at (830) 672-9551.

Gonzales ISD provides Workers’ Compensation benefits through the Texas Political Subdivision.
