• The question was asked: If teachers opted to work on the "Optional Workday", which day will they receive as an annual leave day in exchange for working?
  As further clarification, teachers are required to work 195 days per year. These consist of 180 student days; 15 staff development days; and 10 annual leave days.
  As of February 1st, there were six (6) remaining teacher workdays. By law , those must remain in the staff calendar regardless of the number of snow days we have.
  One of the snow days was used as an optional teacher workday (February 3). Teachers who did not work on the optional teacher workday, February 3rd, had to take annual leave.
  The other remaining workdays are: March 30, March 31, June 11, June 14 and June 15. Those not having annual leave will have to work on June 16th or another day approved by their principal.
• FYI: Personal leave days are FREE on teacher workdays and $50 if taken on a student day.
