Vacation Days

Total school days in operation for each term are closely monitored by many schools.  For each term, the user will specify the vacation days.  There is one vacation day record for every day the school term is not in session on normal weekly days of operation.  The user specifies the vacations days.  Based on their dates, PEMS determines which school term the vacation days affect, and subtracts the days from the total school days for that term.


Calculate School and Calendar Days

Term School Days  = calendar days - vacation days - excluded week days

Term Calendar Days = actual days - do not subtract weekends

Academic Year School Days = sum of required terms school days

Academic Years Calendar Days = sum of required terms calendar days
