A teacher at Glen Park Elementary<\/a> in San Francisco is paying for her own substitute out of her paycheck as she goes through cancer treatment and is unable to work. Friends say the whole ordeal has put extra stress on her during an already difficult time.<\/span>The unidentified teacher and many others like her have 10 sick days available to them per year. When those are gone, they can take up to 100 days of medical leave, but there\u2019s a catch. For each day of medical leave, they must pay for a substitute teacher for their classes. After the 100 days are up, teachers who still need more time may take up to 85 days out of a pool of days donated by other teachers, which is known as the Catastrophic Sick Leave Bank.<\/span>It\u2019s fantastic that generous teachers are helping each other out with a sick leave bank, but there\u2019s a long 100 days of docked pay<\/a> between teachers in need and that helpful Catastrophic Sick Leave Bank.<\/span>\"\"<\/span>Photo: ABC 7 News<\/a><\/span>
\n<\/span>\u201cWe\u2019d love to change it but we\u2019re working under a public school system that\u2019s been financially on starvation,\u201d says Eric Heins<\/a>, president of the California Teachers Association.<\/span>Until the rule is changed, however, teachers like the woman recently diagnosed with breast cancer at Glen Park Elementary are suffering from a lack of cash flow just as their medical bills are beginning to pile up.<\/span>\"\"<\/span>Photo: ABC 7 News<\/a><\/span>\u201cShe\u2019s an incredible teacher, and that\u2019s not fair. That\u2019s crazy!\u201d says Elia Hernandez<\/a>, a parent of one of the teacher\u2019s students.<\/span>We hope this woman and other teachers like her can prompt a change to the system so that they don\u2019t have to worry about how they\u2019re going to handle potential future medical expenses while they\u2019re not working. Our teachers deserve so much better than this!<\/span>Check out the video below to learn more.<\/span>Proper BCS greatergood_ctg_abovevideo<\/span><\/span>Source<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
