The DOE is requiring teachers to complete a leave form (DOE OHR 300-001), this is to complete paperwork that the DOE is responsible for when any type of leave has been taken. In this case, the leave was an emergency closure for Aug. 22-24, 2018 and was deemed to be a “paid administrative leave.” Teachers should fill out the form and be sure to check the “paid leave” section, attach copy of the Admin. Leave Memo dated 8/22/18 that is attached to this email. They should also keep a copy of their documentation for their own files.
The leave for those three days will not be coming out of their leave balance and they will be credited for having worked/being on active work status for those days. Teachers who had requested and been approved for other types of leave during those days will have their leave balance deducted (per the memo) for the days previously approved for leave.
I understand that this procedure seems to be unnecessary. However, several years ago the DOE was audited and was told that they had to clean up their leave records. As a result, everyone who took any type of leave had to fill out the form.
Let me know if you or other teachers have questions. Please encourage them to contact Rae.
