Among the initiatives Pritzker’s office announced is paid administrative leave for every employee of a public school district, public university, and public community college who is fully vaccinated, or whose child is required to be excluded from school because of a positive COVID-19 test result or close contact; sick leave for every employee of a public school district, public university, and public community college who is fully vaccinated; and wage protections for all hourly school employees, including but not limited to custodial, transportation, food service providers, classroom assistants, or administrative staff.
Say what!!!, Maybe for first time jb vetoes a pub sec union friendly bill? And then creates a backdoor initiative to fund the same covid days off he just vetoed??…more machine, three-card-monte, con games. Now one can only assume all are other public sector heros will demand a similar deals. And lots of lawsuits by un-vacced educational employees.
Yah–that was my point, can jb discriminate against the un-vaced? Ppf–Are you in the Illinois ed business? And if not, i assume as a public sec employee, aren’t you going to want to get the same paid covid sick days ‘initiative’ deal as your fellow gov education workers?
A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.

I think the new bill only covers those that are vaccinated. Unvaccinated don’t get the additional benefit.
