Members have shared concerns around the difficulties in securing a visiting teacher for absences and leaves. Our union negotiated the Resident Visiting Teacher agreement which has brought a lot of support to our school sites. However, the problem is still persistent. SDEA will engage with the District again on this topic and work towards further solutions that will hopefully bring more visiting teachers into our system.

In the meantime, a recent executive order from the governor’s office allows for recent retirees to work as a visiting teacher without having to wait out the traditional 6 month period. If you know of any recent retirees who may be interested in working as a visiting teacher, please encourage them to apply using this link.
