[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Teachers have so much they need to do when not actually teaching. They need the work days. The county needs to decide to use the federal holidays as teacher work days or get rid of the cultural holidays in the calendar. TW days and federal holidays and cultural holidays are causing the scheduling issues. [/quote]

This makes sense to me (a parent who has not taught).  I really like the teachers getting what they need, but admin/the school board needs to think of the big picture for kids and families and staff.

My favorite choices is tagging a teacher work day next to a holiday or other necessary “disruption", becuase it let’s families either arrange a care solution for more than one day or take  vacation day for an actual vacation somewhere instead of just a stay cation with the kids.  Can the first or last day of spring and winter break be a teacher work day?

We spent a year in a different country, and despite the calendar going from basically 9/1 through the end of June, I loved it.  There was a 2 week fall break, 2 week winter break, and 2 week spring break, and another break in there.  There were few or zero random one day holidays.[/quote]
