My handbook lists the holidays I am closed, explains vacations and professional development, and then says
"...is my business, and provides an essential part of my family's income. As does any other professional, I expect to continue earning my salary on holidays and vacations. I understand that this can be a hardship for families, and so have chosen not to take paid sick days, and to move down from the five weeks' paid vacation I had while I taught in a school to only three weeks a year. Many families find it easiest to schedule their own vacations to correspond with ....'s closings."
