Most NHC schools staffed after viral anonymous post calls for teachers to call out Friday and Monday
In late October, an anonymous post gained traction among educators across the state, calling for staff to ‘call out’ sick on Friday and Monday. It was framed as an act of protest against the lack of a state budget, which means educators are going without a salary increase for now. The protest is also decrying the increases in state health insurance premiums.
