Yes, the teacher pays the sub, which I believe is at a higher wage, and also (rightly) doesn't get paid for those days, so the costs can add up pretty quickly if you want to take time off. I agree with that policy - taxpayers shouldn't have to pay the costs for a teacher to take extra time off beyond what they are entitled to.
