The day English teachers get an excused (paid) day off to attend the State Spelling Bee or all academic coaches get to attend the State Academic Final is the day I'll say coaches should be excused to attend the State Finals.

 

And I'll disagree with you on your "not begrudging" statement, BiB. I can't get paid if I'm not at work for ANY reason as I'm self-employed. I wouldn't like my taxes to pay for a day off for a coach simply because he's a coach. Call it spite if you want...LOL.

 

IMO, this is a silly thread...

 

They can go to those things. Just like a coach can use his personal day and the district can not stop him/her. They are not allowed to ask you why you want to take your personal day or what you are doing. It is when you use sick leave it would be an issue or you using it as PD.

 

One thing I keep seeing in the thread is the whole "I pay taxes" and so do the coaches. They pay taxes just like everyone else. The years we have been able to go to the finals the boosters paid for our subs so no money came from the school.

The comment was in reference to someone saying that schools are strapped for money and can't afford $300-400 for subs for a day.

$100 dollars each would be an AVG.

Golf state tournament is two days.

We get one personal day.

 

Basketball coaches are out 3 days.

 

Look at the difference in the sports. Look at the money generated by football and basketball. If you want quality non-revenue sports (and I am a big proponent of non-revenue sports, having coach track at the H.S. level) then you better have quality football and/or basketball, because those two sports fund all the others.

Trickle down economics...take care of your football coaches, they will help take care of you.

Just so we don't lose perspective. A teacher gets paid $30K-$60K a year to teach. A coach gets $3K-$10K a year.

Again, what schools do not ALLOW teachers to use personal days to attend the championship games?

 

Additionally, what do the assistant coaches do that work outside of the school system? Should their job give them a day off (non-sick/personal) with pay, too?

How many schools have coaches that do not teach? Or is that a coaches salary on top of his teaching salary? So confused....

98% of Head Coaches in Ky are teachers also. They get paid a teachers salary plus a coaching salary or stipend. Alot of assistant coaches dont teach or work for school system so they just get their coaching pay, plus whatever their job pays. Which is very little for both of them for the amount of hours put in.

It is a coaching stipend on top of his salary.

In my district, if you get a shirt to coach in, that is a benefit and you have to pay taxes on that shirt. You get tickets for the game and that is a benefit and you are supposed to pay taxes on them.
