Our teachers are exhausted. I am here working sick for the 3rd day in a row because there is literally no one to take our place. When one person is out it effects the entire building. Please do something about this.

The fail to fill issue is being felt District wide and at all levels. We are communicating and working with the District to find solutions to address the lack of subs.

The District has implemented an incentive to encourage subs to pick up more jobs. They are also monitoring to see the effectiveness of this incentive. GEA will be keeping a close eye on this as well.

What was the response to this comment? Solutions? Meetings planned? This statement was good but we don’t have months to study this issue.

The GSD Board and Dr. Nye are very open to hearing and problem solving solutions with GEA on how to better support and uplift educators.

GEA asked Building Reps to share the individual stories of what educators are facing and why we are feeling such tremendous burn out and exhaustion this year.

We are taking your stories and identifying specific themes, identifying possible solutions, and have already begun to have conversations with the District leadership.

I agree, we need action now on easing the burden we are feeling.
