TUSD Employees of the Month- April 2025
Krissy Lorz is a wonderful example of TUSD’s core values and is being recognized this month for her outstanding dedication to the students, staff, and families of Templeton Elementary School. While Krissy’s primary role is as a rockstar first grade teacher, she also stepped into a new leadership position this year as our PBIS Tier 1 Team Lead—bringing fresh energy, vision, and enthusiasm to this newly formed team. Throughout the year, she brought colleagues together to celebrate past accomplishments while leading the charge to increase engagement and fidelity in our PBIS implementation across campus. In this role, Krissy was often found supporting certificated teachers, empowering classified staff, and consistently recognizing and celebrating student success. Her flexibility, positivity, sense of humor, and signature “we-got-this” spirit uplifted the entire PBIS Tier 1 team and inspired our campus community to reach new heights. Thanks in large part to Krissy’s leadership, TES is now in the running for the highest level of PBIS recognition—Platinum. For all of this and so much more, it is my absolute pleasure to recognize Krissy Lorz as a shining example of what makes our elementary team so special. Krissy, thank you for the joy, commitment, and care you bring to our students, colleagues, and families at TES every single day!
Daleah Miller is another glowing example of the heart and dedication that make our elementary team at TES so special. Over the last two years, Daleah has served our campus community in a variety of roles—including playground supervisor, Eagle Hour classroom aide, TK/K classroom support, and PBIS Tier 1 team member. While she makes a positive impact in each of these positions, it’s her contributions as our classified PBIS Tier 1 team member that truly stood out this year. Daleah’s presence on the team has been felt across campus—always thinking creatively, bringing fresh ideas, and finding ways to strengthen our school-wide community. In all our meetings, Daleah was definitely our beloved “techy member,” creating engaging slideshows that clearly outlined student expectations in all areas of campus—from classrooms and playgrounds to PE and enrichment spaces. Her enthusiasm was contagious, and her commitment to our shared PBIS goals inspired students and staff alike. She even found a way to celebrate student success each week with her signature Music Fridays—bringing joy and school spirit as DJ Daleah. Thank you, Daleah, for all the little and big things you’ve done throughout the year that helped our little Eagles soar to Platinum recognition!

Workers Compensation Process
Employee Reports the Injury
When an employee gets hurt on the job, they should immediately report the injury to their supervisor. When reporting an injury, the employee should include all information relevant to the injury, including the day it happened, the type of injury sustained, and how and where it occurred.
Nurse Triage Line
The Employee and the Supervisor immediately call the 24/7 injury hotline at 1-855-519-8472. The injury hotline gathers information over the phone and helps the injured worker access appropriate medical treatment.
Supervisor’s Accident Investigation Report
**Mandatory for any worksite injury**
The injured employee and their Supervisor collaborate to complete the Accident Investigation Report. All supporting documents for the claim, including the completed Accident Investigation Report, must be sent to the District Office ℅ Ashley Dignam, or emailed to adignam@templetonusd.org within one working day.
Return to Work Plan
Once the employee is cleared by the Physician to return to work, the employee submits the Physician’s Return to Work Evaluation to the District Office. The employee then participates in an interactive dialogue facilitated by Human Resources. A meeting will be coordinated with the employee’s supervisor who is responsible for identifying current job duties alongside possible modified work and/or implementing appropriate job modifications. Together, the employer and the employee create a personalized reasonable accommodation plan for the employee to return to work safely while under restrictions. The priority will be to assign the employee to his/her same work department and same job, if possible to do so. If appropriate tasks cannot be found within the same work department, the employee may be placed in another department within the district. The agreed reasonable accommodation plan is reviewed after each medical appointment with the treating physician.
Please reference BP 4113.4/4213.4 /4313.4 for more information.
