Are you being paid?
Our state hasn’t closed schools and what will happen regarding pay, if they do, hasn’t come up. I have an autoimmune disease so I wouldn’t be upset if they did, but I need to pay my bills.

We are doing eLearning and being paid. Our district is also paying our support staff, security guards, and some food service workers, because we have to take care of people.

We are currently closed for next week after being on Spring Break this week. We've been told that we can come in to campus to pick up materials/resources, but to get in and out and not congregate. We are to use next week to begin preparing for online lessons/distance learning. The district is still working out specifics and more information is said to be coming in the next few days. I am working on the assumption that we will be paid as I haven't heard anything otherwise.

We are using our built un snow days this week and then we were scheduled to have spring break the week after.
Then we will probably transition to online learning.
My paras and other classified staff are currently being paid. Not sure for how long.

We are being paid for eLearning days. Paras are not. They have the option of coming in to do cleaning and odd jobs.

In So California. Schools are closed for 3 weeks. We are getting paid for these 3 weeks. For sure we do not report the next 2 weeks (the second week being our scheduled spring break). We were told not to go to our schools at all. They will let us know at the end of the second week about reporting back the 3rd week. There is a possibility we might go back without students. No eLearning yet. I teach first grade, so it would be hard to do. Also, I don't think all my students have internet/computers at home.

DH drives a school bus and won't have any income for the next few weeks b/c of school closings. I'm only part-time, and if I have to work from home I won't have much to do. I'll have even fewer hours than I usually have.  |

Thanks for all your responses! It sucks that some paras/support staff aren’t being paid.

In SE Michigan all staff (teachers, paras, office, kitchen, etc) are being paid for the next 3 weeks. The 4th week is spring break so I assume that would be whatever is typical for scheduled breaks (it’s my first year working a regular/daily position so I don’t know how that works).

As far as I know, classified is getting paid, but many do have to show up next week. For example cafeteria workers. Our district is still handing out meals to students that show up for breakfast and lunch, It will be a drive thru, no staying on campus.

We are supposed to show up on Monday, but no students. I’m not sure what we will be doing there, and I won’t be surprised if they tell us to stay home.

Private school. We’re starting offsite learning after spring break, so teachers will be paid. I don’t know what will happen for support staff. The school is owned by a large corporation that can well afford to pay everyone, so I hope that is what will happen. It’s not as if they’re going to allow parents to stop paying tuition.
Honestly there’s no good reason for any school not to pay its staff. Is the state going to reduce funding during this time? If not, you can afford to pay your staff, plain and simple. It’s the right thing to do.

We will be paid and our benefits will continue. As of right now, we will also be working. We report back to school on Thursday.

There is the fact that the pay for most teachers is stretched out over the year when they do not work during the summer. The same for some of the other staff. How would they figure that all out as to how much is still owed, etc if they did not pay?
