shoot.. we do 180 with kids, 190 for teachers

I used to.

district wants our building to go from traditional to something more for next year.

have a month to figure out what that is

I worked 225 days.

what did the schedule for 225 look like?

Did the kids do better? Our reasoning for looking at more is to help scaffold more to improve test scores.

I did not have designated time off.

I 4 weeks of vacation time I could take 1 day at a time...or a week at a time.

...up to 2 weeks at a time.

That is strange to think about after have a summer vacation my entire life.

I was used to it...never dreamed of getting a summer off until the school closed...

and I started working for a public school.

The pay was great because I worked so many more days a year than most teachers.

yes the did say we would be compensated for additional days.

I earned more sick time and everything than other teachers in the district who worked 180 day contracts.
