We have self treated days. The DOE gives us 10 sick days. Nowhere in the contract does it say you can't call out on certain days, so don't worry about a letter in your file. They are just trying to scare us.

In 2020-2021, we don't get Rosh Hashahah, but we do get Eid al Fitr and lunar new year, so that's essentially a wash. January 2nd is a Friday, and our last day of school is Monday, June 28th (which isn't quite as annoying IMO). I agree with keeping the pressure on, because this is a two year issue. <br /><br />We need to get the parents involved, because their voices carry more weight.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15921757.post-67722224788473327932019-05-05T09:40:49.398-04:002019-05-05T09:40:49.398-04:00Good job.

Mulgrew’s words make it appear that he’s with the rank and file in wanting the day off - which belies his prior knowledge and his inaction in fighting it and informing the rank and file. This is very telling in that it shows indifference and/or ineptitude.
