()()つ means to have something as one's assigned responsibility — a class, a subject, a district, a set of patients. It describes an ongoing assignment given to you rather than a task you take on by choice, so it is most at home in schools, hospitals, and workplaces where duties are divided up among people. ()()っている (the ている form) is the usual way to say what someone is currently in charge of.

Compound verb

()ける (to receive) + () (to hold)
