Commerce teachers can look forward to three more days off without pay.
Just as he did the first semester, Gov. Sonny Perdue has withheld the equivalent of three days’ worth of teacher salaries to all state schools for the second semester as Georgia’s funding crunch continues.
That will force school systems to adjust their calendars for three more furlough days.
Commerce will take these three additional furlough days — the system is actually calling them as “modified calendar days” — March 12 and May 25-26. The last two are post planning days.
This could change.
Should class be canceled at any point during the second semester for inclement weather, the school system could use those lost days as furlough days in place of the post-planning days.
The lost pay from the first three furlough days was spread out over six months on employees’ checks to soften the impact. The lost pay from these next three furlough days will be spread out over another six-month period.
going to do went they are no teacher left? Because
of the furlought.They have to live just like us.
