More Teacher Furloughs in the Works?

Teachers have contacted the Georgia Front Page to say there is a rumor Georgia will soon ask teachers to take three more furlough days this school year. If this is true, that will mean six days total. The teachers we have spoken to have indicated their furloughed pre-planning days just means they work for no pay as teachers must prepare their classrooms for upcoming parent visits.

Governor Asks for More State Budget Cuts

The Georgia Front Page has confirmed that the Governor has asked for more budget cuts due to the economy. Teachers will be asked to take three days of furlough time over the next school year. His hope is the days will be staff days so the children will not lose any instructional time.

Teachers Get Time Off, Thanks to GA

The word on the street is Georgia's teachers will soon be experiencing three day furloughs. We don't know the details yet nor has the Department of Education sent us any information on this. We'll stay on it and let you know if and when we hear the official word.
