Scripture of the day:
Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you.
1 Peter 5:7
I just recently heard about this and finally found an article about it. There is a woman in California who has breast cancer. She will have to be out of her classroom, I assume, for 6 weeks after her mastectomy. Due to an antiquated law, she is responsible for paying for her substitute at $240.00 a day. This is unforgivable. This law should've been changed immediately. It's my understanding that this teacher ended up with a lot of support and was able to meet the cost of the substitute. But she never should've responsible for this if the first place.
I was very fortunate in my case. I also only had 10 day's sick leave. I wouldn't have had to pay for my substitute, but when the days ran out, I would've stopped receiving a pay check. But my colleagues donated enough of their own sick days to me that I never missed a pay. When the chips are down for both me and this California teacher, people really step up. If you know of this school district, apply pressure to have them change the law.
If you are making this journey as I am, may God bless you with His healing touch. I know He loves you.
