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. Syphax is a s—t show, and, yes, teachers in APS are very pissed off about it.
MCPS central office has gotta he worse. There are ten times the number of ‘leaders’ in that s**show
Including Coach Murphy!

APS teachers have been saying this for years. They did implement this to placate everyone for about a week or two last year, and then it faded away.
I felt sorry for Dr. Duran taking the reins during such a difficult time, but the longer he goes on, the more exasperated I get. Grow a spine and support the teachers, dude.
I'm an APS teacher who, during 2020, was supportive of Duran who was doing the best he could, surrounded by governments that were failing him.
But now... PP is right. Support your staff. Stop poisoning the well. Every new day is another day you are further removed from the classroom and it shows. You're a politician now, not an educator.
