2/6/14, "Alabama Schools Face Shortage Of Substitute Teachers Due To Obamacare," Washington Free Beacon staff
"Finding qualified substitute teachers is always a tough task for
local schools, but that job may become even tougher under Obamacare,
WHNT-AL reports.
The Affordable Care Act stipulates that any employee working over 30
hours a week is considered full-time and must be provided health
insurance. Marshall County Superintendent Tim Nabors notes that his
schools can’t afford to provide health coverage to its substitutes, and
may well face a shortage given the new hour restrictions.
A main concern, Nabors said, was when teachers would be out for long
periods of time. “If you’ve got maternity leaves, or if you got someone
who’s sick and out for a long period of time, you don’t want to bring
two teachers in,” to replace them, Nabors noted." (video at link) via Free Rep.
