Wow, I'm working in the wrong school district. I get one week off at Christmas and we have a very limited spring break. Granted, I only work 10 months a year (roughly), but I only get paid for 10 months a year as well. I didn't start at $68K either. Is it really typical for schools to give a week off in winter and in April? Or are you referring to something I'm missing? <summer brain> My school day starts at 7:00 and runs until 3:30 with 30 minutes for lunch.
