[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Have other districts released their numbers? I know APS has at least 800 requests[/quote]

Again, this is APS HR's own fault. [b]They didn't communicate to teachers that the criteria for 2021 was different from the fall criteria.[/b]  As an example, I applied and was approved for the fall because I have a high-risk family member in my home which qualified under the CARES CDC criteria. I simply reapplied as APS directed for the spring, and there was a checkbox for this criteria.

If APS had told me it was no longer an option, I wouldn't have applied this time because I would have known it didn't qualify. APS has brought extra work of sorting through applications that they knew wouldn't qualify this time because they didn't tell teachers or staff that the conditions for telework or accommodations had changed from the first round in the fall.[/quote]
This is an old thread so those numbers are from the fall. Either way, they did communicate these changes at one of the staff town halls. I'm surprised all of these people who are hyper-online posting articles and complaints all day did not manage to notice that the CARES Act was expiring on December 31st.[/quote]

False. It was not in APS's written communication or in the application form. The application form still listed CARES categories.[/quote]
