Despite the tenor of your reply, it was a valid question to ask.
And unemployment compensation for summer months is certainly NOT out of
the realm of possibility, since AFT is encouraging state affiliates to
contact PSRP for legislative campaign strategies and sample legislation
(from your own attachment).<br>
<br>
It also seems to be in the works for other AFT-represented districts:<br>
<br>
In some cases (Head Start) workers' benefits are even better than their
counterparts in the public schools, and in some states they have access
to unemployment benefits in the summer.<br>

Wayne Scott, Colorado classified school Employees Association executive
director . . .wants to be able not only to defeat the bad (legislation)
but also to push for positive changes, such as summer unemployment
benefits for PSRPs.<br>

Thanks to Shirley Ringo for informing me AFT probably does NOT represent any Idaho districts.<br>
