Teacher must pay to serve his Country..

LOL

That sounds like my wife when she buys something on sale:

"See honey, I saved you money!"



That whole school board should get their walking papers...after being charged for the cost of processing their termination.

Like MiniD said, that's legal.

When I was activated for the first Persian Gulf war, I was away from my job for 8 weeks.  The only gurantee you have with your employer is getting your job back.

When I returned, they'd hired someone else and claimed too bad.  The National Guard showed up, leaned on the manager real good and pointed out the law.  Rumor has it, they were "magically" audited that tax year too

This doesnt seem right to me.. I am a reservist. Your employer is not entitled to pay you anything while on duty. I dont see where they are paying him anything. His housing allowance should not be included because it is an entitlement. It also is not taxable. They pay the difference of your base pay not including your entitlements. But why does he have to pay for a sub? Thats the part that  has me baffled.

Every time another story like this pops up, I'm reminded why I quit the teaching profession.

Unbelievable.

The taxpayers of that county already pay income taxes to support the military.

 Now they are basically asked to additionally finance an individual soldier with their school taxes (by paying his salary while he is not working for them) even though he is serving the whole country, not just the schoool district.

 That is not equitable. Why should a business employing many reservists suffer compared to a business that refuses to hire any?

 How hypporitical of self-labeled "conservatives" - refusing to pay  the full price for the military and blaming the "liberals" for wanting to pay less taxes.
 Isnt's that the opposite of a conservative views?

In most previous years, Bernhardt has fulfilled his military assignments while on vacation, Gillette said.

Been there, done that.

You guys do realize the teacher is getting his pay one way or another, and his position is secure. This is not illegal or even unethical.

Wow.  I can believe that i am agreeing with  miko2d
 
At least in part..

He is getting his money,  He is just not getting paid for 2 jobs while only working one.

That what they mean by him having to pay the school.
