Those teachers aren’t given any contracted time to clean and pack their rooms up.  That’s all they get.  Two half days.  [/quote]

That doesn't address OP's question. cleaning and packing time could be consolidated into one day. Why not make Wed the last day of school for students and teachers have thurs and fri to clean their rooms? When I was in elementary school, students spent the last day or two cleaning out their desks, taking their junk home, and helping to clean the classroom by taking down all the stuff on the bulletin boards and walls, cleaning the chalkboards (yes, we still had chalkboards), cleaning the desk tops, and even taking home extra supplies the teacher was getting rid of. It was fun.[/quote]
My second grader spent a significant chunk of this week carrying stuff to the dumpster for the teacher to help her clean out her room, as well as doing other chores.  She put them all to work.[/quote]
