It may be dependent on accumulated sick leave. That’s the case in my district. But we roll over unused sick days so it’s not hard to build up a few weeks worth - provided you aren’t a first year teacher, and then you’re out of luck.

If they don’t have any sick leave, some districts allow a ‘sick bank’ where teachers can donate a couple of their sick days. 🤷🏻‍♀️ That is a specific question for the union rep.

Every district is different, but in my district I would be able to be paid as long as my sick days covered it. And since sick days roll over and accumulate, you can have dozens, well over a hundred, depending on how long you’ve been in district.

We don’t pay into the program.

You didn’t know that your registration paperwork was either expired or missing? And that you hadn’t paid for it in years…? You’re lucky you weren’t pulled over. You’d have had your vehicle towed on the spot and some trouble with the police for sure.

I have never had AAA check my registration. Not their job.

Agreed. Many parts of CT are pretty suburban. Neither urban nor rural. You’ll need a car to drive places, lots of residential housing, etc.

here you go

There are no left exits in my area and plenty of slow cars in the left lane. It’s definitely not the left lanes, although those don’t help.

You definitely have to visit a few, ideally talk to some references, etc. but it can be a wonderful option and actually cheaper. I was the opposite - I only wanted a home daycare and didn’t want a center at all. Centers felt too… industrial? Centers have advantages like many provide preschool options for 3s and 4s and they also are able to remain open even if a teacher gets sick. But I prefer the small size of our home daycare - max 6 kids. (Which also means less germs.) She is open early enough for me, a high school teacher, and provides meals, too. Some centers do, some don’t. Some homes do, some don’t. She’s basically family to us now. My son has been with her 2.5 years. Now, home daycares won’t have the bells and whistles like apps and cameras and Face ID technology at pick up though lol.

Pricing is good but timing is not if you’re looking to start that soon. People put fetuses on the wait list. 211 web site would also have home daycares listed.

I know the Newtown/Southbury area pretty well so feel free to PM me!

Take a walking tour of Yale.

Because the hour of footage makes it pretty clear it’s indefensible.

I get NBC CT on Roku TV.

Lol fair enough, I guess seeing all of the replies as ‘the mob’ related, i went that direction.

He asked about “the mob”… not “a mob” 🤣

As close and connected as we are to NYC? Of course.

Have you met my friend, government bureaucracy?

So just a cautionary note. Of course you can register your child at the grandparents’ address and drive them to school. But if you’re caught, the child will be expelled to their home district and the district could go after you for tuition fees. Now, they rarely waste their resources on the legal side, in my limited experience. (13 years teaching) But being forced to remove the child, even midyear, from a school where they have become settled and established could be traumatic. My district borders a midsize city with overcrowded and underfunded schools. We have many, many students that lie their way into our district. Many are ‘caught’ and removed.

So you’d give legal custody to the grandparents?

I think a student identifying themselves using a very specific term that is used in the indigenous community is very uncommon and can be dealt with on a case by case basis.

So the the Governor’s salary is causing homelessness…? Logical conclusion.

Still one on 25 along Monroe/Trumbull line!

Can’t speak for the parking, but a recent study said CT was one of the best states for driving lol. Statistically 🤷🏻‍♀️ Parking is rough though. I think the design of a lot of parking lots is absolutely atrocious. Idk if that’s regional or just life…

Where did it say otherwise? Simply pointing out the fallacy of your logic. The officials elected in November do not begin their terms until January. Thought that was pretty easy…

The crap hasn’t happened yet because the new elected candidates aren’t I until January…
