I get it you’re irate teachers are having days off swanning around going on long weekend trips. Jokes that’s not what I do on my teacher only days. For those that do not work in education so do not seem to grasp open for instruction days it’s ok it’s buried in a moe doc somewhere.
Schools are open for instruction (when your kids can come in) for 380 half days (190) full days.
On teacher only days the school is closed for instruction and these days do not count towards that 380 half day total.
Let’s say your school have 4 teacher only days during the year. They will still be open for 380 half days during the year (assuming someone calculated it correctly).
If you take out teacher only days the school is now open for 388 half days. This is not allowed.
The school will now open 4 days later at the start of the year or finished 4 days earlier at the end of the year. Or maybe they will make an extra long July school hols.
