[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mcps teacher here. There is an online sub system. You login, create an absence and hope  a sub takes the job. Other than writing sub plans, your job is done. I’ve been in the county for a long time and have never been denied leave or been harassed for not having a sub. Is this really a problem countywide?[/quote]

Correct. Teachers do not have to find their own sub.  Submit your leave slip for approval, create the system request, create your sub plans.[/quote]

Please name your school where you weren’t harassed for taking leave without a sub. I’m looking to transfer. [/quote]

not the poster you are responding to but i have had multiple administrators and never had leave denied. I’ve worked for some principals who tried to bully people over taking a day without a sub assigned to the job. We had a well established staff that was not easily intimidated and knew their rights so it got the principal nowhere. They learned pretty quickly that we were taking the leave regardless of whether or not they “approved” it.[/quote]

Can you name the school? I really need to move to some place sane. [/quote]

or you could work with the union reps in your building to educate people about their rights. controlling admins are allowed to thrive, particularly in elementary schools, because teachers tend to be people pleasers and are manipulated by the “do it for the kids” bs. 
yes, we are here for the kids. but you can’t pour from an empty glass. it’s ok to take the leave when you need it.[/quote]
