[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They get all the days when teachers are off, (think Diwali, Jewish holidays, etc.) plus 2 week winter break and 1 week spring break, all paid for.  Teachers on the other hand, do not get paid during those breaks.  [/quote]

And this is not the norm for employees that accrue leave (as they do).  This was new under Duran.  Also- someone from central office is obviously on this thread.  For every five I’ve met, any teacher does the work of four of them.  [b]Syphax is a s—t show, and, yes, teachers in APS are very pissed off about it.[/quote]

School board should conduct a survey to ask teachers what they think of Syphax, if they actually care about teachers who are at the front line[/b].  [/quote]

Syphax= Ivory Tower... the majority of Syphax people (look for the Rothy's) haven't been inside a school building in years, long before covid.  Teachers are sick of them and all the trumped up busy work they throw at teachers in the schools. They certainly didn't come back to work when the rest of us did; Syphax is like a ghost town with a lot of them "working from home" and calling it in.  The fact that they are given paid leave is sickening considering what is happening in understaffed, over capacity classrooms filled with highly stressed, needy students. Can't wait to be done with all of them.  I hope they are reading this and get a clue how much they are despised.

This is all 100 percent true. I’m a teacher who goes to Syphax 1-2 times a month for meetings. It’s literally a ghost town, especially on Fridays. I’ve also spoken to a few central office staff members who have outright said they were working at home for an afternoon. APS has come out many months ago and stated that working from home was no longer a thing, but it’s clearly being done under the radar. I know the Syphax staff members aren’t in school buildings, because I’m in a school building, and always have been and never see them. I don’t necessary fault the employees, but rather the system that’s created this inequity. School based staff do not think highly of most central office staff and can validate that the more staff members added centrally, the more work school based staff have put on them (with little to no benefit for students). Something needs to change and I’m very happy this is becoming a public discussion.[/quote]
We get visitors from syphax regularly but are also very close [/quote]
