SO I am up for tenure at the end of this year and will attain tenure the first day back......however, I am due at the end of July and will be returning in November. Have you had any problems with your job or the threat of returning? It's not my boss I have to worry about..it's the head of HR...any suggestions?
Re: Question for teachers
I had DD in Feb and couldn't afford to come back for the end of the year (childcare would've put us in the red). I kept my supervisor updated- the school was very supportive. I then attended the in-service week in June and returned in September. As PPs mentioned, the in-service is an important piece. Hopefully HR will be supportive. GL!
