Any thoughts on how this might impact district and county attorney's and their assistants? I can't think of anything good.

I wonder if we will get 2 weeks off at Christmas, 1 week for Spring Break, about 3 months off in summer, and the various other extended holidays. I believe teachers deserve a decent salary, but given the amount of days they work I think others salaries should be adjusted up for working full time.

I wouldn't lose any sleep over it.
