If a teacher must quarantine, will he be paid?

I don't recall ever hearing the question of pay-during-quarantine come up at a board meeting. What is your understanding?

If a teacher unsuspectingly becomes a "close contact" of a person who has a positive COVID test, that teacher must quarantine; right? Is that in the Richland 2 rules? Policies? Guidelines? 

So, if that teacher must quarantine, even if symptom-free and with a negative COVID test, why wouldn't that teacher be paid?

Can the teacher just call the bank, utility companies, etc., and tell them, "Richland 2 isn't paying me, so I can't pay you. Too bad"?

If a teacher is symptom-free and possesses a negative COVID test, why shouldn't that teacher go to work and get paid?

It is the employer (the school district) who is controlling whether the teacher works. 

Why should a salaried teacher take in on the chin for a District rule?
