Sick Detroit Teachers Must Provide Doctor's Note

Administrators: 'No Note, No Sick-Day Pay'

The more than 800 Detroit teachers who were stricken with the "blackboard flu" on Wednesday must prove it, reported WDIV-TV.

Administrators are asking the teachers to provide a doctor's note by the end of the day on Friday to confirm that they were in fact sick with the flu.

If teachers cannot provide a doctor's note, they will not receive sick-day pay, the station reported.

The notes are a way for administrators to know if the teachers were sick, or if they just stayed away from the classrooms as a form of protest against pay increases for principals.

The teacher's union is consulting an attorney as to whether a doctor's note is really necessary, according to the station.

Officials were forced to close 53 schools on Wednesday when teachers failed to report to work.
