The ones in their classrooms are probably cleaning. Some are probably packing up.

They have to pack everything up in classroom (either move it out or have it in storage inside the classroom), have bulletin boards cleared off or covered by paper. The elementary teachers are also responding to emails from parents about items that their kids left at school.

Even for those staying in same classroom, the room has to be pretty empty & ready for other use.

Teachers will participate in professional development over the summer. Specifically for ES, there is training to prepare for new curriculum & all that goes along w that.

And the floors will get the heavy duty wax job that sprays wax on everything that's not covered!

Teachers finish grading, clean out their classrooms, check out of the building.

They replace the wax every summer to protect the floors. That way they don't have to replace floors every few years.

I bet you don't clean your gutters, either.

Do the principals work over the summer? In office?

What an insensitive thing to say. 800 MVA kids are going to be forced to interact with peers next year partly because your insistence that the other 159,000 kids have schools with functional floors.

My health anxiety is more important than your silly floors.

What do I have to complain about? I’m going to clean my classroom, finalize grades, and celebrate with some coworkers.

(And plenty of professions complain. You should hear my DH complain about his workplace.)
