I didn't account for non-holiday vacation/days off or sick time for the teacher, but your count accounts for it for the ordinary worker.

Also my estimate was "200 to 220 days", not "220 days". Of course my estimate could be off, but it could be off in either direction. I think its more likely 200 than 220. Taking 200, subtracting 25 days for sick time and other days off, gives you 175, compared to your range of 176 to 240. Its not as extreme as some people think, but its still a disparity.

Looking for another source rather than relying on my own guess I see that maybe my revised estimate is still a bit too high.

Teachers Work Schedule (see contract pages 17-19):

1. Contract year: 185 days.

2. Less four personal days and 14 sick days = 167 work days.
