Comfortable, furnished housing is
provided for overseas-hire teachers and utilities paid by the school.
General Expectations Housing provided by LCS is assumed to
be adequate to meet the teacher’s needs as identified at the time of hiring
(e.g. single teacher, teaching couple, couple with children, etc). The
same assumption applies to the payment of utility bills: the school agrees at
the time of entering a contract with a teacher, to cover the reasonable
utilities for that teacher or family. Changes in these circumstances will
normally result in the teacher contributing to any increase in expenses.
Housing Entitlement
It is recognized that the housing in which an
employee lives has an effect on the staff member’s ability to focus on
educational duties at LCS. Although no plan for allocation of desirable
housing units can be perfect, the following plan is designed so that employees
will understand how housing is allocated and so that the process will be
perceived as equitable as possible; given market conditions in Accra. In
general allocation will be based on the following guidelines:
Single
Teacher 2- Bedroom apartment
Couples (no children) 2/3- Bedroom
apartment / house
