Professional Activity (PA) days are single days during the Ontario school year when students stay home while teachers participate in professional development. Plan coverage by first identifying PA day dates from the school board calendar, then finding suitable single-day programs. PA days are also called PD days (Professional Development days) in some boards.

PA Day Lookup Workflow

Step 1: Identify PA Day Dates

Use the 3-Tier School Calendar Lookup to find PA day dates:

Tier 1 - Check internal library first:

• Read the school board/name from <research_dir>/family-profile.md
• Search ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/camp-planning/references/school-calendars/ for a matching file
• If found and the school year matches, extract PA day dates directly. Inform the user: "Found [school] PA days in the internal library."
