Tarrytown Teachers Vote to Return Two days Pay to School District

[lauerz]

Teachers in Tarrytown have voted to turn back to the school district two days wages in the fiscal year 2011-12 in order to save as many as eight full time educational staff jobs and the Challenge program for grades 6-8. The Board of Education has adopted a $64.75 million budget and the teachers' action had been anticipated as part of it. The Teachers' Association action saves the district $260,000 and was made to "...avoid the elimination of positions that would ultimately affect our students," read a statement by the teachers. "After careful consideration, this association chose to move forward and act n a positive manner to share the sacrifice," the statement went on. "We felt it was important for us to do our part to help in these challenging times. While we sincerely wish that we could do more, we want the taxpayers in the community to know that we understand, care very much, and are with them to ensure that the quality of education for our students remains intact during this difficult period."

Нет, у нас не furlough.

A furlough (pronounced /ˈfɜrloʊ/; from Dutch: "verlof") is a temporary leave of absence from employment, duty in the armed services, or from a prison term. It may be voluntary or involuntary.

У нас люди работают, а не находятся в temporary leave of absence from employment. Просто часть своей зарплаты перечисляют другим учителям, чтобы тех не уволили.
