The South Tama County School District agrees, as a further condition of the Superintendent’s employment contract, that it shall defend, hold harmless, and indemnify the Superintendent from any and all demands, claims, suits, actions, and legal proceedings brought against the Superintendent in his individual capacity, or in his official capacity as agent and employee of the District, provided the incident arose while the Superintendent was acting within the scope of his employment and provided such coverage is consistent with the District’s insurance policy.
If in the good faith opinion of the Superintendent, a conflict exists as regards the defense to such claim between the legal position of the superintendent and the legal position of the District, the Superintendent may engage counsel in which event the District shall indemnify the Superintendent for the costs of legal defense to the extent such coverage is consistent with the District’s insurance policy.
