[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Both Ferebee and other officials said exactly that in the Post story:

"Some schools are not offering any in-person instruction at certain grade levels because they can’t staff those classes. While there is a formal process that teachers can apply for to receive leave or accommodations, [b]much of the decisions on who needs to return has fallen on principals[/b], according to Jackson."

and this:

"While teachers have access to vaccinations, the union said that some teachers have child-care issues that prevent them from returning to classrooms or have mistrust in the school system’s reopening plans."

Mistrust? Try the mistrust parents have about DCPS right now. Note, as well, they cite "surveys" of parents taken in the fall. At my kids' schools, those surveys didn't offer a return to IPL as an option. So how can they claim there is low demand still? Preposterous. [/quote]

Anyone know what they mean by saying principals decide who returns?  I assume that if someone has an approved ADA, the principal can't just tell them to come back?  And I don't imagine the principal could just hire a new teacher without permission for increasing the budget to add a class.  And isn't the district supposed to have the pool of subs (which I've heard is too small to fill in for the teachers on leave)??  Is he just passing the buck, or what am I missing???  What could a principal do?  Really, I would ask our principal to do a thing if I knew what it was.[/quote]
