Then you're not a teacher in Vermont. School is not in session on town meeting day.

Are you thinking of November elections?

Burlington shows it this year as a Professional Development day so it looks like teachers are expected to attend. That seems like a problem for the district.

All schools in my county are open in town meeting day. I've never in my life had that day off from work.

No. I teach in VT. My (large) district has school in session in town meeting day. Not all teachers have it off.

There are a quite a few school districts where teachers are working on Town Meeting Day. I know of when that has classes that day specifically so when voters go to town meeting they don't think teachers are slackers always getting days off.
