My heart goes out to all the teaches of this country. Hopefully, this trillion dollar aid package will include help for them as they lose their paychecks and have to stay at home for the next 5 months..assuming they go back to work then
In California, all school employees continue to receive their regular salaries while the schools are shut over the coronavirus. No need to feel sorry for them...
Hopefully, that was /s without the tag.
No teacher or support person will go without a paycheck as a result of the emergency closure. At least not in the State of Michigan. The Governor’s order specifically stated all personnel will be paid with the exception of a few positions (aides).
The biggest problem is timing. Since the order goes through April 6th, some schools will go on Spring Break that week meaning students will be out of school for 4 week. The State has scheduled testing for the week starting April 13th. Which means some students will come back to face State testing.
The Department of Education has stated they will waive state testing if the states ask for a waiver. As of now, the State of Michigan has not asked for a waiver.

Our teachers (Marion County, FL) are salaried and will get paid as usual (as will the administration). My wife OTOH, an hourly paid worker, is SOOL...
Do you think teachers are losing pay?
My kids teacher is having class online and isn’t missing any pay. You can bet the gubt union teachers won’t miss a cent and will probably get a bonus for the added stress...
