Does a para classroom manager get the sub teacher pay if they’re teaching different classes all day? Or is it if they’re just teaching one class all day? ( after the 5 days mentioned on the memorandum of course)

There are definitely not enough paras. We also have inconsistent staff attendance, so when staff calls out, in-house teachers are covering for each other.

We cannot offer office hours or inquire about student's reason of absence because COVID-19 status is not shared.

We have more D75 and students with IEPs qho require paras. Not enough paras so sped teachers are acting as paras. This is overwork.

# data[].attributes.body
We have no idea if any classes/students/teachers are quarantined, how widespread Covid is in the building, and how many cases there are at any given moment. Covid testing happens, but they only test about 30 of 1000 kids and I question how accurate the testing is since they barely go inside the nasal passages to sample.

We were not given the promised rapid test kits OR the KN95 masks.

We are almost always short staffed. We have 3 SLPs and all of us are under-serving students' mandates to make room for new students that just keep coming. I don't think our classroom teachers have had a sub all year- they always combine classes. And being D75 with 12:1:1, 8:1:1 and 6:1:1 classes, we are almost always out of compliance and over the numbers in the room. It is even worse today coming back from break.

About 35 staff out in our building. We were warned it is likely to be worse tomorrow, and that everyone should expect to get a coverage.

About 30 teachers out and only 49% student attendance. Have been informed that it will be like this on Tuesday as well as so many staff members have already called in due to COVID.

Tests and KN95 masks were not provided in the building until last minute. Administration said they were never informed that it needed to be ready by today.

Told to post work indefinitely on google classroom. I’m confused about this contractually. Are we being tasked with remote teaching?

Had a few students come to school today and state they had family members in their house COVID positive but they didn’t want to stay home. Also had students with positive COVID tests ask if they could just come in because they had minimal symptoms. There is so much disparity between what is being said and what is going on in schools. How many unknown students came in today covid positive because they didn’t want to stay home?

Six teachers out, which is 1/4 of our teaching staff. Everyone had coverages. No KN 95 masks today, but we just got an email that they are in and will be available tomorrow. We did get our test kits today. Student attendance was below 50% in my three classes.

I was denied testing by test and trace the week before the break because they claimed my consent needed 2 weeks not including weekends to clear. Why is it an issue to have consent filled out ONE time and kept on file? We paras are “working poor” and they sure do a good job at treating us as such. And today no masks or kits given to us staff either.

# data[].attributes.headline
So many staff out, no team teacher got a coverage or sub.  Also, some teams that actually had both members in school got split so the SE teacher could cover another teacher's program.

Not too sure what the big secret is regarding telling teachers which of their students are quarantining. Administration should inform teachers which of THEIR students in THEIR classes are home quarantining. I really should not have to find out from the parent that their child is out with COVID. Please let me know who did I come in contact with so I can take the precautionary methods to try not to be a super spreader. Well I guess it doesn't matter anyway because of the new protocols and procedures that are in place regarding teachers getting sick with covid. I still would like to know from the school and not from the angry parent who is wondering why I am not sending her student home with work, even though I had no clue the kid was out quarantining.

We had more than 40 staff out today (1/4). Every teacher is getting a coverage every day this week, some more.  I know one person with a comp time position that usually has 4 classes was given two coverages today, for example. The school even had to send us an email about what to do when you try to call in sick, but the school sick phone mailbox is full.

# data[].attributes.body
Students who were called down to get tested got stuck waiting in line for extremely long times (a whole period or possibly longer), because guess what, one of the testers called out sick.

I teach a primarily pull-out Tier 3 reading intervention program. The week before break, and so far this week, my program has been canceled and the kids told to stay in class because I was needed to cover for an absent teacher. So my adolescent NON READERS have had no reading intervention services for three weeks.

Subs aren’t picking up the jobs because they don’t want to be exposed, I’m guessing.

# data[].attributes.headline
17 teachers out with Covid.  All specials cancelled so Specials teachers can run around and provide coverages.  An absolute mess.
