As you all know I think it is important for us to know and understand all pieces of our contract. To that end sometimes I'll share things that might seem like they are coming because "something happened at school." I assure you this piece below is purely informational and not because anyone has been injured at BCS.
To that end, you may have heard in other schools where a pedagogue has been 'injured in the line of duty.' This is a technical term used to determine fault and payment of medical expenses. A summary is located at this website but essentially this coverage is provided by the UFT and DOE in the case of an "unprovoked attack by a student, parent, or stranger" on the pedagogue. While I do not wish this to happen to any of us at BCS, it is important to know that if you are hurt in one of these situations, your financial and health related matters will be covered as you recuperate. For anyone curious about the technical language, please see Article 21, Section K of our contract.
