University leadership continues to carefully explore scenarios to help parent employees of school-age children.

We have included some resources that may be helpful to employee parents now. Additional options for assistance will be presented as new information becomes available.
As mentioned in previous communications, telecommuting is still strongly encouraged for positions that meet criteria for remote work, as determined by departmental leadership. Supervisors should be flexible with their employees' schedules whenever possible, including with flexible hours or shift changes. Telecommuting information can be found here.
