This is such a can of worms. It seems the DOE has not made any good choices regarding the Furlough days...
Aren't SPED employees funded by the Feds? Don't the Feds regulate the number of hours in their classrooms?
Don't Hawaii schools receive federal subsidies, and aren't those based on a mandated number of school days/hours per year?
We are making it miserable for parents by spreading out the furlough days because it might inconvenience some hourly employees regarding pay schedules? Does that make sense?
This whole tossing the kids out to the wind over this budget problem is a horror to me. Hawaii already has one of the worst school systems in the country. We need to clean house from the TOP down.
Just my thoughts....
I want to be the kind of woman that, when my feet
hit the floor each morning, the devil says
"Oh Crap, She's up!"
