If I work for a public school district, is that considered a state or local government?

The school district is considered a part of the local government. Therefore anyone who works for the school district considered an employee of a local government. Public schools are funded by local taxes and are run by elected officials.

If you work for a public school, you are a state employee, regardless of the state. When you work for a local, private school you are not an employee of the state or local government.
