Hey everyone this is a bit of a touchy subject,
As everyone is aware the number of vacation days has been reduced this year due to there being no classes on Saturdays any longer. As a result of this, some of us, well me anyway, with 3 weeks of summer camp are being told that there are only 5 available days to take during summer vacation and then the remaining 3 days must be taken on random days throughout the year.
In addition to this the 2 week renewal vacation has been split and 1 week is to be taken during Semester 1 and 1 week in Semester 2.
Can people please share the experiences they are having with their schools so we can be better informed about what is happening.
Cheers

I was not aware of this.
Do you have a link to the 2012 EPIK contract?
I will be re-signing this week, and I have negotiated to take my 2-week renewal vacation in August, consecutively with my 8 days summer vacation to make, essentially, an almost four week break.

I don't see why the "no classes on Saturday" would affect our leave since we don't teach on Saturdays.
This is the first I've heard of our vacation days being reduced. I've just taken my renewal vacation - a month of 4 consecutive weeks - as have the other two NETs at my school, and nothing was mentioned about the time being split.

I work for SMOE and I was told something similar. I will get one week this summer and will get the remaining days of my vacation next winter. That means I will get 1 week at Christmas, three week camp and then another 1 week in January and then back to school in February and then I will get the remainder of my vacation at the end of the month when I am finishing my contract. It really sucks because if I knew about this I think I would have thought twice about renewing as I was given much vacation time as I was never asked to desk warm. Anyways, that ismy experience. I would be curious to hear from others what is happening at their schools.
profmiscreant:
It could depend on your school as well as your MOE... And maybe what type of school you're at. From what I understand, in elem the kids do a full day on Wednesdays now to make up for the loss of Saturday school. No idea what that means to middle or high school.
