What are these three month vacations people speak of?

School gets out LATE June and starts again late August or mere days into September. Plus, all teachers have mandatory work days before kids begin in the fall.

So by my count that's less than 2 months vacation. And seeing as how they're either only receiving checks for when they work or spreading out a thinner paycheck over 12 months, I don't think we can call it a "vacation" anymore than we can call weekends a vacation. [/quote]

Try 3 months.

194 day contract = less than 39 weeks.  That comes to 12 weeks of vacation.

I think you are forgetting about all the federal holidays, Thanksgiving vacation, Christmas vacation, Spring break, etc.

It does add up.  And, you do also get personal leave, don't you?

I don't think people are complaining about the salary compared to number of days, but complaining that fcps teachers are paid so much less than teachers in neighboring counties for the same number of work days.  I teach in fcps and am overall happy there, but if I was just starting out again, I would definitely look in Arlington instead because of the higher pay.  I live in Arlington so the commute would be great, too. [/quote]
