POLL: Return to Work vs. Summer Accrual

[Buzz]

The way I understand it, half the kids will alternate going to school 2 days one week, 3 days the next week. This would cut the number of kids in half. Whether half can be done in one trip according to whatever number they set as acceptable would depend on the run.

It stands to reason if the DOE is going to mandate which students on which days are gonna go to school and how many students are gonna be in each classroom that OPT will make the runs so that social distancing is also in place on the school buses. If they're gonna set up classrooms with only 12 people then I'd assume their gonna set up runs with only 12 people on the bus.

Less kids in the building hopefully means not multiple trips for the same
Run

I for one will return to work. I am hopeful PIONEER will do the right thing. Obviously if they don't have enough routes due to parents taking the kids to school, SNR drivers will be hired before newbies.

3 SI Catholic Elementary schools just closed their doors for permanently. I'm sure that's not good for social distancing. I don't know the exact number but I have to guess that's around  500 students that are going to placed in different schools.

No matter how they alternate it they will need bussing every day

Let's say one of the kids on my bus has covid.  Is someone going to notify me?  And who would it be?   And since I was in contact with someone with covid, the office is going to tell me that I should quarantine for 14 days.  Do I get paid for that time or do I lose 14 days of pay?  Do I go on Workmans Comp since it happened on the job?

According to COVID proposals we are supposed to go in 14 day quarantine and get paid for it

"The following Catholic schools in the New York Archiocese will not reopen:

--Our Lady of Mt. Carmel-St. Benedicta School, Staten Island

--St. Joseph-St. Thomas School, Staten Island

--Sts. Peter & Paul School, Staten Island"

Surprised that St. Joe St. Tom is on that list.


On other websites ... don't know how accurate ... I found these enrollment figures:

--Our Lady of Mt. Carmel-St. Benedicta School ... 170

--St. Joseph-St. Thomas School ...238

--Sts. Peter & Paul School ... 250

I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for that to happen.

Did you read the part that says, "Who doesn't qualify for paid sick leave?

Not everyone qualifies for paid sick leave benefits under this new law. Here's who is not eligible:

    You work at a company with 500 or more employees."

Yeah, that what I read and why I said I wouldn't hold my breath.

I think someone is getting confused with Trump's legislation regarding same, which wouldn't apply to us.
