[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Teachers are basically furloughed for 2 months and need to save to get themselves through the summer months. Many school systems don’t have 12 month pay options, only 10 month. It’s a bit different as it’s not a surprise, but considering the volatility of today’s government, fed workers should always put themselves in a position to be able to weather a shutdown. Of course saving is hard—but it is a skill that’s a necessity. [/quote]

What?! No. Feds make 68k on average and work year round. Not the same as teachers who are off for 2-3 months. [/quote]

Let’s see. In LCPS last year, I was off from about June 15 to about August 15. That’s two months. And we aren’t paid for that time. (We can have our salary spread out over 12 months instead of 10 though.)

We are contract employees and do not have that time factored in as “vacation.” [/quote]

Np: and your salary takes that into account and you would know to budget accordingly.  The fact that you (and others) don’t see/understand the difference between that and being furloughed, without notice, does not inspire confidence in your ability to think critically.  [/quote]
