Yes, I am a school employee, and I signed. Not, not because I want all the breaks, but because I saw a difference in our school--for the better. There have been less discipline problems, less teacher absences and less stress overall. I also signed because the new calendar totally disregards families--how can you expect children to be in school until December 23rd? People travel and children are excited. I also signed because we no longer live in an agrarian society--the children no longer need to be out of school to help care for crops--which was the original purpose of having summer vacation.
I signed because it is the right thing for the kids and families!

 I agree we need to catch up with the rest of the world.  My children actually grew over break, you know proper rest and all that good stuff is really good for children.
