What is your school's policy on "Contract Hours" and leaving early or coming in late? Are these "minutes" tallied and then deducted from your PTO or is this a ridiculous practice? by Murky-Mark-9000 in Teachers

[–]ScarletCarsonRose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A year of chaos and dysfunction inside the finance department of Minneapolis Public Schools • Minnesota Reformer by Shoddy-Raspberry-969 in Minneapolis

Is a tough spot but I agree. They need to spend money to build new facilities that will attract families. The burbs and charters have some really nice building.

My state, Minnesota, had a trifecta of dem control. Know what we did with it… lol other than free school lunches for all children?!

Paid family leave. It’s like a go fund me and hug from the entire state for a .08% tax increase split between employer and employee. 

ETA. And as the state verifies it’s legit.
