There are only two classrooms per grade.  I can see how this would be a huge problem if one of the teachers in each grade qualified for ada/Fmla. The principal may have had no choice. [/quote]

If one of the teachers qualifies for ADA/FMLA then they stay virtual with the 50% of the kids who want virtual and the other teacher returns for in-person. In a school of 330 students to only bring back 1 teacher and 3% of the population for in-person learning is ridiculous. I recommend people contact DCPS Reopen Strong at https://dcpsreopenstrong.com/contact-us/ if you too have concerns with this plan.[/quote]

If they qualify for fmla, they don’t work at all. They are on leave.

Ada yes they could continue to teach virtually. [/quote]

I think that was basically the essence of her communication - that she knew the profile of her teaching staff to understand that X number were likely to qualify for leave based on either FMLA or the extended CARE leave (which allows for leave if there are children at home who aren't attending school under 18.) She decided she would rather move forward continuing all the useless remote learning with existing teachers rather than have them go out on leave and double class sizes. It appears there is no mechanism, will or interest in getting long term subs at Hearst. That's why she framed it as "forced to take leave." She took the easiest way out (can't say I blame her), for sure. Our school has a bunch of teachers that would qualify for CARE benefits but are going back; it's an individual decision.[/quote]

[b]You know they can’t just pull random subs from their bums[/b]. It’s one thing to use pta funds to HIRE someone but subs are from a Dcps pool and they choose your school or area. Lol there was a sub shortage before but now....it’s desolate.

So with CARES, ADA, and FMLA teachers are bound to fit in somewhere. I do feel sorry for the Hearst community though. My school has at least a teacher a grade returning. [/quote]

Their is an entire pool and online system recruiting subs right now for positions all over the system -virtual and in person.  There isn't a shortage of out of work people. Hearst isn't even trying.[/quote]

Subs will get you more CARES rooms.  Is that what you are asking for?[/quote]
