[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Given the number of teachers out with Covid and lack of subs, APS still has to close if FCPS closes or calls a virtual day. With the number of APS teachers with kids in Fairfax schools, APS can’t cobble together enough classroom coverage. It was a done deal once FCPS made their call. [/quote]

They can if they tell teachers “no, you need to make other childcare arrangements or it will be considered an unexcused absence.” Teachers need to make arrangements for snow days, too. [/quote]

So leave your kids alone at home if you must, but come teach my kid?
Do you think teachers take this lightly? At my school, they would gladly come teach if they were allowed to bring their non-APS, fully vaxxed kids. They’re taking this from their accrued leave, this is not a “free” day for them. [/quote]

Parents are taking the snow days from their accrued leave, too. That's what leave is for!  Only most parents' jobs aren't such that their employer can request a sub for the parent staying home with their kid whose school is closed.

And, come on.  It's not like every APS teacher living in Fairfax is a single parent without a partner who could take leave from THEIR job to be home with the kid.
