For decades, seriously ill teachers in California have been quietly forced to pay the salaries of their substitute teachers while taking extended leave. But this week, outrage over the law emerged so loudly that the state legislature might as well have just passed it yesterday.
Like many terrible stories, this one came to light with a GoFundMe page.
Parents in the San Francisco Unified School District launched a fundraiser for a second-grade teacher April 25 after discovering that she was not only battling breast cancer but was also having to pay for own substitute. The San Francisco Chronicle was first to report on Tuesday about the teacher’s predicament and the fundraiser, shocking the local community and leading to nationwide scrutiny of the law.
“Parents were outraged and incredulous — like, this can’t be,” Amanda Fried, parent to a kindergartner and third-grader, told the Chronicle. “There must be some mistake.”
But Eric Heins, president of the California Teachers Association, told The Washington Post that this has been the norm for sick teachers for years — symptomatic of a larger problem in California and beyond of underfunded education systems that end up burdening individual teachers even in their most critical time of need. He pointed to recent walkouts in Colorado and Oklahoma, where teachers protested low wages coupled with high health-care costs.
