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.
The Federal government has waived the testing for this year, so most states will not be doing the regular state testing. California certainly won’t.
