PT consultants working under contract for the board are considered what?

  1. Independent contractors

  2. Volunteers

  3. Public employees

  4. Board members

The correct answer is: Public employees

Contractors who work for a board are considered public employees because they are providing services to the board, but they are not considered board members, volunteers or independent contractors. Board members are those elected or appointed to serve on the board, volunteers do not have a formal contract or agreement in place, and independent contractors are self-employed and not government employees.
