[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP, even if getting subs are difficult there should be no reason why there are high absenteeism rates at schools unless the main teacher has a family or medical reasons or as outlined by the law. In the event that a teacher will be out on a long extended absence or related family reasons or by law, the school community has a right to be informed that the main teacher will be out and a permanent sub has been acquired.

While the school community is not entitled to know the reason why the main teacher is out on leave, they are entitled to reasonable academic accommodations for their child. I am surprised there hasn't been a lawsuit regarding the way in which DCPS handles such leave and academic learning.

Please tell me on what grounds a parent can sue a school district for absent teachers who are using their allotted personal time off?  This is ridiculous.[/quote]

Clearly your reading comprehension skills are lacking. The burden is NOT on the teacher as I have noted. The burden is on DCPS to provide adequate measures to ensure quality academic instruction is met for ALL students. I’m sure an attorney could argue that DCPS is not providing adequate accommodations for students with disabilities and the general student population as outlined in District and Federal laws.
