If I lived there and had a kid in school, you can bet I’d be there to pick him/her up at the normal time, and not let him/her stay for the extra 20 minutes the teachers’ temper tantrum inflicted in the students.
I think this is a “contract” thing....and the Governor is doing the best he can within the terms of the contract. Also allows for suspension of those teachers who used fraudelent sick notes. Students also get to learn that there will be CONSEQUENCES.....20 min is NOT that much...
