I'm trying to figure out the number of vacation days I have left with my contract. I took a vacation in January from the 19-30 and 2 of those days are red according to my calendar.

I think my school may have counted them as 2 vacation days. The 26/27 is part of the Lunar New Year, but I'm not sure if it's traditionally a day that everyone gets off.

You are probably right. Also, look at your February schedule before you talk with your school. At my school, we didn't start until Feb 4. So, 1-3 could be used also for vacation.

I wouldn't want you to argue to your school about 2 days in January, if you forgot 3 days in February. Then you would be losing 3 days instead of gaining 2 of them LOL

Thanks for your help!

I'm pretty sure your school calendar is different from mine. I didn't start teaching again until mid-Feb and I was doing school work from home on those inbetween days.

The Lunar New Year Holiday is 3 days and, in 2009, it was January 25, 26, and 27th- but the 25th was a Sunday. The 26th and 27th were national holidays.
