CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCSC) - Federal provisions to help pay employees, including teachers, while they quarantined due to COVID exposure or sickness expired at the end of the year, and educators are anxious to hear how school districts and state leaders will handle these situations moving forward.
“Without access to paid leave, means that teachers are either going to have to draw down their sick leave balance or their personal leave balance or in many cases, especially for our early career teachers…they could be looking at days without pay,” said Patrick Kelly, with the Palmetto State Teachers Association.
