The WSC budgets for 5 sick days per teacher. Anything over that, they get charged per day. The budget allocates $2 million in an account that is used to cover any overages in sick days, per the September school committee meeting. It's an account that isn't necessary, but the committee budgets for it regardless. As for TDI, the WSC won't pay into it. The proposed "sick bank" would allow for sharing sick days, but at a percentage of the daily rate (80% was the last known figure). This article is pretty par for the course with articles published by this journalist. It tells part of the story, but not the entire story. I mean, he went out of his way to find a relative of a deceased teacher to play up the WSC's point. Pretty comical. As for wage freezes - are we gonna start freezing DOT workers if construction deadlines aren't met? Or maybe we should freeze administrative raises because schools are underperforming?
