I will take off sick if I get Covid. Not putting my health or recovery at risk for work from home administrators.[/quote]

No, you use your existing sick leave like has been the case for decades with every other illness[/quote]

This. No more two week paid vacations for popping an asymptomatic positive test. Use sick leave like everyone else. [/quote]

How much vacation time do you think teachers get?[/quote]

You get 5 personal days a year.

Cue dcum parents who are furious that teachers might need to take a day off during the school year[/quote]

It's 3 personal days a year. You can carry over some so that you never have more than 5, but you're only given 3.

And some schools are strict about not using them to extend a 3 day weekend (that's fun for the family wedding on a holiday weekend...) And not everyone is given their religious holidays off like Christmas and Easter are, so imagine wanting to be with family on a holiday on 3 personal days. [/quote]

How much annual leave do you get? [/quote]

10 month employees receive 10 sick days each academic year. However, if you belong to the Sick Bank (which most employees do), two of those days are donated back to the Sick Bank. Therefore, most employees receive eight additional sick days per academic year. [/quote]

So 8 sick days, plus 3 personal days, and nothing else?  [/quote]

that is correct. 10 sick days (8 for sick leave bank members), 3 personal days. nothing else. this is for 10 month employees, which is all teachers. [/quote]

What about all the observed holidays in MCPS? That is more than most professionals get, not to mention summers off.[/quote]

If by summers off you mean a period of unemployment and no pay? Some teachers do hold back paycheck percentage to save for the summer. Trust me when I say it’s not off at all. Many have second jobs. The Feds have more observed holidays so what?[/quote]
