A: It appears that this private education company is attempting to avoid possible disaster caused by a bunch of teachers all going out on PTO at the same time; however, the way they are trying to avoid closing down is probably unlawful. Look for an experienced employment lawyer who is familiar with Title I programs to advise you.
