There were t2 holidays....Lincoln and Washington. The teachers wanted a whole damn week. Creative benefit!!
A question: Do schools still get paid for these days off? We know teachers are getting paid. Kids...you're so scr****.
School districts/teachers are paid for approx 180 days [depending on your state laws or district.]
In a large urban city here, teachers used to be obliged to work/be paid for 180 days. The AFT union capitulated in negotiations and teachers now work 185 days, without commensurate pay for those five added days to the school year.
If you don't like the law in your state...work to get it changed. :)
