“Scheduled asynchronous time, which is pretty much assigning homework,” said Jonathan Zachreson, founder of Reopen California Schools and father of two from Roseville.
Zachreson says he’s been told this teacher has chosen not to return to the classroom this year, citing fears of COVID-19.
“This sounds outrageous and it is outrageous but the blame doesn’t belong on the teacher for the most part,” he said. “The teacher belongs on the institutions that allow this to happen.”
A spokesperson for the district said, “per district policy, we cannot comment on personnel issues. Additionally, any travel outside of the country for any reason requires a leave of absence.”
