[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The only concern I have as a teacher is getting it and having to burn through 2-3 weeks of leave and making 2-3 weeks of sub plans while sick.  Unfortunately, teachers will get it, even vaccinated. They will then need to be out for 10-14 days depending on severity, which then effects the kids. I am very much looking forward to being back 5 days a week and praying this fall is successful. [/quote]

I’m not worried I’ll get it but pretty concern my kids who are too young to be vaccinated will and I’ll burn through leave having to stay home with them while they’re sick. But like, not worried to the extent I’m gonna help overthrow the school year as OP seems to think. [/quote]

Agree. I think most teachers have the leave thing on their mind especially with young kids unvaccinated who will need to be out when sick which I think will be more so than last year since so many people were home. [/quote]

I’m worried that I’ll end up home with my young children and will not be able to find a sub. Finding a sub was tough pre-pandemic and was impossible last year. My husband can’t take off with them, which means my students will be divided up among my colleagues for days on end if this plays out like I think it will.[/quote]

No no don’t worry about that. Seriously. That is not our problem. I don’t want to burn leave if my kids get covid and are out for 10 days but if the system can’t get a sub those days that’s on them. I refuse to make that my problem or worry. Quite literally not our problem or issue to fix (not that we can). [/quote]

Do teachers get ten sick days a year? [/quote]

7 sick and 3 personal. If I have to use 10 on my kid being sick (and I have more than one kid) that pretty much means I have no time left for if I get sick, need to take a day for an appointment or whatever. So obviously I would prefer to not have to take 10 days for one of my kids getting Covid. We did really well with school transmission in spring but delta is more contagious and blah blah.  Anyway, can’t worry about that now [/quote]

In FCPS it amounts to closer to 12 days for teachers under 194 work days. All of it can be used for sick, but up to 5 days can be used for personal leave.

[i]Monthly Paid Employees Working Less Than 12 Months—You accrue sick leave at a rate of .0632 per hour for every hour worked. If your workdays are 208–260, this results in an accrual of approximately 13 days; 190–203 workday results in an accrual of approximately 12 days; and 183–188 workdays results in an accrual of approximately 11 days.[/i]
