I agree with this. The paychecks you are receiving in the summer
when you are on vacation is for the 180 days that you worked
previously. So they still have to pay you this money. Some
schools give the teachers a choice about whether they want all of
the money paid to them during the school year or spread out
during the summer months, too. You should be fine. June and July
are your vacation months, right? Yes, you will still be paid
because you already did the work.
