[QUOTE="AppleCori, post: 679571, member: 16024"] Hey Cali, I feel bad for you, and for the record, I think your boss's insistence that all contacts be called every day for every absence is ridiculous. I don't know why he is not bombarded with angry parents calling him/the administration/the school board to complain. However, it is not illegal. These people can have their names removed from the emergency list if they choose. Having said that--making attendance calls is an important part of the job. I don't see how you would win a lawsuit or have a legitimate claim against your boss. And I definitely wouldn't bring up your lack of Spanish as a reason to not make the calls--I'm not sure of the laws in your state, but I wouldn't want them to decide to reclassify your job as one that needs a bilingual employee (if it would even be legal in your state). Keep looking for a different job, Cali. Within the school district if possible. There is an on-line computer programming site I just heard about called Code Academy. It is a free site to learn programming. The people who put it together have been recognized by the White House for their work, so it is probably pretty good. Just a thought. These are just my thoughts, do what you think is best. We are rooting for you. Apple [/QUOTE]
