Los Angeles - Parents at an elementary school in San Francisco have expressed outrage after learning that a teacher suffering from cancer and on sick leave is having to pay the school district for her substitute.
A school district spokeswoman, however, told AFP that the payment was not unusual and was in line with state law. Once those sick days are exhausted, teachers are then eligible for 100 days of extended sick leave, during which they are entitled to their full pay, minus the cost of a substitute. "I just feel sad that from what I heard, she is a very good teacher and I just feel sad what's going on her," Narciso Flores-Diaz, a parent, told NBC Bay Area on Wednesday."Our school is pulling together to help her and to make her feel that she's not alone."
Ten days is pretty typical for any job, esp a nine-month one. My company gives that, two weeks, for 12 months of work. We can carry over three months worth, then vacation, then lwop or short term disability.
This must have been some private school or something like that.
