I have a question.  You stipulate that the regular work year is 195 hours and yet the daily rate of pay is the salary divided by 215.  What are the other 20 days that are used to compute the daily work rate?  [/quote]

The other 20 or so days are the days teachers dont work and aren't paid for.   These take place between the start of their work year and end.  They uncle Thanksgiving break, winter and spring break, Jewish holidays, etc.

That's a ridiculous way to count.  Basically you have 195 regular work days and 20 paid holidays that are rolled into your salary.  That's why your salary is divided by 215 and not 195.  If it were truly unpaid, then your salary would be divided by 195 and you would received a prorated 9/10 salary for a 2 week pay period that included a day off.  Your pay check would be less for any week that included one of those 20 days, but it isn't.

Your calculation is like someone who works a typical 260 work day salary and claiming their hourly rate is based on 250 days with 10 unpaid federal holidays.  That's not how salaried individuals in any other industry calculate their pay, so it is disingenuous to try and claim that you have have a higher hourly rate computed for your salary with unpaid holidays.
