How are we saving money by not having the balanced calendar? Heat is not being used for a wk in Feb. and the amount of money saved by not using subs in the schools because teachers used the Sept/Feb break to make dr. appts. So, how does this not save money? It is also too long on teachers AND kids to go from Labor Day to Thanksgiving w/o a day off. Same is true from Winter Break to Spring Break and don't even say we get MLK and Presidents day off because that isn't a break and I believe President's Day is a teacher wk day anyway. I just don't see how the majority of a vote doesn't win.
