Now I think you mentioned your wife is an assistant principal? I was not so perhaps that would explain the comment I hi-lighted in red.
But I would wager for the vast majority of teachers, you won't see them in school past June 30 at the very latest. And for the vast majority, you won't see them back in the classroom in fall until perhaps 3 to 5 days before the school year begins. Some might be doing extra prep work at home but I never experienced any actually going back in the school by August 15.

I am telling you what my wife's experience is and that of many of our friends.
some do leave at the end of june, some stay to finish things up.
as for starting early, some do, some dont. some do the prep from home or on a beach or at a campsite.
My biggest point was, is that teachers dont get three months off a year as was eluded to. I use to think they did when I was in high school,
but I have come to learn that that is not the case.
