[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Grow up. I had Covid a few weeks ago and world kept going. [/quote]

That's nice. The discussion here is that this teacher is new and doesn't have any sick leave. [/quote]

Of course she does. It’s just regular sick leave, not extra covid leave. We need to be honest that covid just isn’t a big deal anymore. It’s a mild cold and fever you may not even notice.[/quote]

Teachers have to build up sick leave. I got the flu about a month after I started teaching. I think I had two sick days by that point so I ended up taking a third and fourth day unpaid.[/quote]

This is page 65 of the contract: “ 4. Advance of Sick Leave—At the beginning of each school year, a unit member is advanced sick leave that will be earned during the school year. Sick leave in excess of the amount to be earned may be advanced by the Employee and Retiree Service Center. ”[/quote]

What isn’t explained is that if you use more leave than 10 days and you don’t have more saved up, you go unpaid AND the next fall, they subtract those days. I had a kid who was a sickly baby and toddler. I was in the red for leave for almost 4 years.[/quote]
