Furlough

The governor of our fair state has declared that all government employees - including teachers - will take a 3 day furlough. Toward that end, he has cut the state's payments to district's budgets by 3%. Some counties have said they will not furlough their teachers, but will make up the state's portion somehow. (The state pays a portion of teacher pay, districts pay some - so some districts pay more than others.)

We start school in less than a month but do not know - at this point - what day we'll start. I wonder when they will tell us when we are furloughed (what days)?
