Vacation Days Table
A Vacation Day record is made for each and every day that school is not in session during any term the school is in operation. Vacation days are not events with a start date and end date, they are specific days. For example, the Christmas holiday may be one school break, but there may be up to ten regular school days not in session, so this required ten records to be entered.
A vacation day record is created for all reasons that school is not in session, having no bearing on why.
Week ends of days that school is not normally in session do not need to be entered as vacation days.
