Is that a school or just office work? (I’m getting at if she is gone, does someone else come in or does she just have an empty office/work from home?
With teachers we HAVE to have a sub, and then that makes me wonder, if someone even suspects “The rona” (sorry I just think it’s funny to call it that) would there even be a sub willing to expose themselves?
And would they also have to send a note home to all parents that it’s suspected someone has it and is being tested/quarantined?
I just retired and will sub so I can pay for my health insurance. My DH is covering me, but it's still almost 1k a month. He's a teacher as well.
In my state you can only sub a certain amount of days while collecting your retirement. The district can request a waiver on that rule if there is a sub shortage or if they need you as a long-term sub. My district will be requesting that wavier for me.
However!
DH and I have decided that I will only sub for those who know they need to be out for appointments, jury duty, etc. I will sub for friends in other buildings, or in my sister's building where she is the principal and will have know why the teacher is out. I will not take last minute sub jobs for sick teachers.
ETA - In my state as of right now, if any staff member or student suspects that they have COVID the build will be closed until the test results are returned. If the person is positive for COVID the school will be closed for two weeks. We will see if that rule remains in place for the fall.
