Update on Reasonable Accommodations Applications
Full-time staff who have applied for a reasonable accommodation to work from home due to increased risk of severe illness from COVID-19 have begun to receive notifications regarding the outcome of their applications. The roster, now available on the Principals Dashboard, displays an updated status for employees who have received these notifications, including approvals and denials. As previously noted in the July 23 edition of Principals Digest, the Reasonable Accommodation roster is updated at approximately 6:00 p.m. daily.
Please note that staff may reapply if their application has been denied. As such, the roster may subsequently show multiple applications from the same employee. Applications that are withdrawn are no longer shown on the roster. Most school-based employees who applied by the July 31 deadline will receive their notifications this week; additional notifications will be delivered during the week of August 17 and twice per week thereafter.

I'm an ATR and just went into the Open Market to look. Under "are you an excessed staff?" It reads "NO." What does this mean? Am I placed? If so where? I applied for medical accommodation and have not heard back even though it was by the July deadline. Am I going to be denied because I am an ATR and do not have a school placement and therefore not considered, school-based? Is there anyone else on the same boat?
As he opens all the schools, gets people deathly ill and paints black lives matter on the streets throughout the city, NYC mayor @BilldeBlasio says that the 9/11 memorial lights in memory of the 2,606 New Yorkers, including 343 firefighters, won’t shine this year, because it is too dangerous for the electricians to work together to connect the lights due to COVID-19 social distancing rules.
I'm uncomfortable getting on the subway come September, so I asked about getting a parking permit so I could park near my school, which is in a hard-to-find-a-parking-spot neighborhood. The response?
Unfortunately, our system is closed for maintenance until September 14 , 2020. The portal will re-open in September , so that you can register for the new school year 2020-2021 permits, the new permits will not be distributed until the end of October 2020.
How can this be???? Why isn't this up and running for the first day of school? I can't be the only one that wants to drive to school and stay off the subway. Why does everything drag, drag, drag at the DOE?
Cuomo keeps saying that districts must have meetings w/parents and teachers. I know the DOE has had 2 town halls w/parents - but have they done so with teachers? We've only had town halls with UFT?
Cuomo also just stated that parents are complaining that the meetings have been staged - which I just realized that, yes they only read questions, as opposed to speaking live to parents.
I am wondering when the chancellor will have a meeting with US to actually hear what WE have to say?????
to ATR, It's strange your status has changed, since they update that at the very end of August. I had a similar experience years ago on the last Friday of August. The current placement should be listed, if not call HR and they'll inform you of your status and placement.
Juts got an email about PE expectations. 12 feet apart, no shared equipment, no heavy breathing, every piece of equipment disinfected after every single use, every period.
Randi says...make sure our schools in Florida are safe for children & educators in the midst of the #Covid surge. WHAT ABOUT NY?
Coronavirus daily update: 1,000 deaths or more in U.S. each day over past two weeks
Obviously, the more large gatherings, public transportation use, the more this goes up..Check other schools which have opened.
If you are in the ATR, you still remain excessed until you land a permanent position. When they place us in schools in August, we're still in excess. We're placed into the schools at ATRs.
Las Vegas, remote learning, having parent training, and having parents come in to pick up supplies for the at home learning.
An ATR can also be reabsorbed back to where they were excessed from. That happened to me. I found out on ESSS, then informed the school AP who had no idea it had happened.
Hi, thanks for fellow ATRs. I called HR but of course, they are no help. Is there other ATRs here who reads "NO" under "are you an excessed staff?" on the Open Market page?
Some interesting reading...no indoor dining but we can go into schools.
Cuomo announced the loosening of restrictions as he explained that New York has seen a COVID-19 positivity infection rate of less than 1 percent for seven days straight.
There is still, however, no state guidance on or indication as to when indoor dining can resume in New York City.
I know nobody cares at this point, we have bigger problems as we will be made deathly ill shortly...
Summer school
Teachers are openly saying and putting in writing that they are passing students with edmentum averages well below 65. I'm talking about averages in the 20s.
"If they completed all the assignments but had an average below 65, I just passed them all."
"I just dropped all the low grades so the average went up to 65."
"I just deleted all the assignments they were missing so the average went up high enough to pass."
" I dropped the lowest scores, in some cases dropped a unit, and dropped or curved the end of semester test."
Well, how can they fail? Sounds like our expectations are sky high, as usual. You can go into edmentum, write anything, get a 0 on every test, but since you "completed" everything, they all pass. Fraud? Wow.
So let's be clear about what is happening regarding the opening of schools in September. The question has always been what is an acceptable mortality rate for school staff and students. That is what Mayors and Governors are debating internally and with teacher's unions around the country. How many dead students or teachers can the public accept before any kind of meaningful outrage shuts down the system? This talk about child care, daycare, not missing needed instruction, getting the economy back on track is all secondary if not plain lies. The only question that's being debated is how long can we keep this going before a vaccine or some other type of cure is in play. From March to June there were scores of deaths in the DOE due to COVID19 and this was during remote learning. Now we're gong to be back in the buildings starting September 10th. How many dead bodies are acceptable?
ROCHESTER-Remote until Thanksgiving
New Zealand, which thought it had defeated Covid after zero cases for three months, now has many and it’s accelerating down there. This proves the contagion cannot be defeated by any government. Only a vaccine will stop this killer.
203,
I’ve been in and out of the ATR pool for a decade. This time of the year can be challenging. Honestly, I’m clueless on what will occur. My guess is that if you aren’t picked up by a school, you will get an initial placement and who knows how long it will last. My initial assignment lasted until the week after thanksgiving. Then, I was told I was placed into a vacancy which the school didn’t have(typical doe stuff). Basically, from December through March, I did Mickey Mouse coverages and didn’t do much during remote learning.
This year, I went to some interviews and was rejected. I asked questions about why I was rejected and received zero feedback.
To sum it up, take it one day at a time. We will receive assignments in 3 weeks. They will be ‘fluid’ as the doe likes to say. For atrs, I don’t think ratings will occur this year, so watch your attendance(don’t take 5 or more days through January. If you do, you will receive a letter). Do your best as to what is asked of you and don’t complain. One day at a time. One foot in front of the next. Head down and smile under your mask.
Check Sesis as well.
Also, I predict the hiring freeze is lifted in 2021 when a new mayor wants to win an election and be viewed well by the public.
Anonymous on Parking Permits:
This is their normal procedure.
The permits are valid from Nov. to Nov. The application link opens at the end of September and permits are sent to your school at the end of October.
Everyone entitled to a permit gets one. So if your school, like mine, has extremely limited parking get there early enough to wait for a resident to move. Learn the license plates of the residents and their habits too, so you know which cars to wait next to.
One of Carranza's daughters apparently attends a NYC public school. How do we find out if she opted into full remote learning?
@Devy: and then some of these educators are shocked that the DOE is lying about the safety and cleanliness of the school buildings. Hey, the DOE is lying to save its azz just as these educators are lying to save their job. Mindless. People in glass houses...
They wouldn't need to layoff teachers had the doe not done the stupid thing and hired 4,000 new teachers and leaving 700 or more teachers in the ATR in surplus. What kind of business does that?
CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS WANT TO DELAY IN-PERSON LEARNING AT NYC SCHOOLS
I email them all every day
From a former ATR-- hope for a good placement in late Aug/Early Sept. cause i really can't see the DOE rotating atrs around schools when they wount even let kids leave their classrooms.
The NYC PBA is proud to endorse Donald Trump for President of the United States
Another de blasio lie. Remote only was denied.
Roughly two thirds of the Big Apple’s 1,800 public schools have had their coronavirus reopening plans approved – as every school opted for a mix of in-class and distance learning and none requested only remote, the agency said Friday.
This time around, any potential buyout has to also include an incentive for resignation, not just retirement.
Give me 3 years pension credit and a certain amount of cash, and I'll gladly run for the hills, even though I'm nowhere near retirement age.
I hope a fair buyout is offered. I hope tug the UFT is pushing for one.
TIME FOR 20 YEAR BUY OUTS LIKE COPS AND FIREFIGHTERS! Use the unlucky millennial tier 6 teachers since you are saving billions there alone.
PE life is good no more 50 students maybe remote, but who cares.
