Wow, another topic, directly out of the headlines, and another relative, how coincidental?!?!?!?! I'm amazed at your family tree!
Teachers have a contract that they have to teach/work for 187 or 188 days of the year. They can take their pay either total for that period time, approximately 9 months, due to Christmas and Spring break, or divide it for the whole 12 months. They have built into that, normally, 5 sick days from their district, and 5 sick days from their state, and then, in addition maybe 2 or 3 days which are designated as "Bad Weather" or "Snow" days, according to which part of the US you live in. So, your, so called relative, is going to take a "last minute" trip to Hawaii, on a teacher's salary, in May? Forgive me if I'm just a little doubtful. Reservations for a plane, hotel, cost, one week, 2 people $4,000, must be nice to be able to just throw that down on a whim in this day and time in a bad economy.
No wonder they call you the "Weakened Traveler"
The survey is poorly written. With that being said, we were told if the schools are closed (up to 14 days), we will have to make those days up. So yes, I will get paid for them and we will still work them.
Read yourself and decide if the folks in North Carolina have a clue or not.
School 'furlough day' not likely - Local & State - News & Observer (http://www.newsobserver.com/news/story/1516966.html - broken link)
Some highlights:
But Harrison said he is telling local districts that employees can take furlough time here and there during the school day if they're not teaching or supervising students. For example, a teacher who has a planning period in his schedule that she doesn't need can count that time toward the 10 hours.
"I believe that was the intent," Harrison said.
Unlike teachers, bus drivers who are paid by the hour don't have days they can use for furloughs. It is still unclear how bus drivers will be able to take a 10-hour leave.
