Virginia districts to dismiss school early some days to combat teacher burnout

Two Virginia school districts are preparing to release students early on select Wednesdays in an effort to combat teacher burnout due to the ongoing pandemic.

The Virginia Beach City Public School board voted Tuesday 9-1 to end classes two hours early on seven Wednesdays in the next three months, NBC affiliate. The schedule is intended to allow teachers a"breather" so they can have uninterrupted time to prepare for class. District spokeswoman Natalie Allen told NBC News that the final plan would be shared with parents Wednesday night.

“Our teachers are being asked to do more, to cover more, to cover cafeterias, to cover hallways and to cover their colleagues’ classrooms more so than they ever have before,” Superintendent Aaron Spence said. “They are not able to prepare for instruction.”

will the teachers lose some pay ?

What? They work 10 months out of the year, with all holidays off.

I guess summers, fall breaks, winter breaks, spring breaks, and weekends aren’t enough.

Teacher burnout? Gtfo. The rest of us have to work a shift and cant use 'burnout' as an excuse to leave early.
