The District continues to navigate and address
impacts as a result of our current school closures and provide information and
resources to support our Employees during these challenging times. We are
sensitive to the challenges our Employees face when they are out of work and
the financial impact. If you are working for the District on a per diem,
call-in basis (example per diem Substitute Teacher, Sub. Monitor, Sub. Teaching
Assistant, Sub. Clerical, Sub. Guard, Sub. Custodial., Sub. Nurse, Sub. Food
Service Worker) you should be filing an Unemployment Benefit Claim with the
Department of Labor to assist you with income during the school closures.
We thank you for all that you do for our
students, families, administration and community each day. If you have specific
questions about the nature of your position, and are unclear please contact the
Human Resources Office.
Below you will find information on how to file a
claim with the Department of Labor as well as links, FAQ's and the District's
