Using only Normal Days is every day the same schedule
If you add Odd days, then odd days eat up their portion of normal days (1, 3, 5, etc). Since half of all numbers are Odd. That gets you 30/30 days of the year split alternating days of Normal and Odd schedule days. If you add Third Days, Then every three days is a Third day schedule. (3, 6, 9, etc). Third days alternate between an Odd and Even days. Fourth days do NOT alternate but follows the same system (4, 8, 12)

To make it simple

Normal Days = 60 days of the year one schedule
Normal + Odd = 30/30 split (alternating days)
Normal + Odd + Third = 20/20/20 split (continuous rolling schedule)

Here's the true 'Odd' one out ;-)
Normal + Odd + Third + Fourth = 10/20/15/15

Of course you can also just do Third days = 20 days with school days on third days and other days will be free. Mix and match.

Normal + Third = 40/20 split
Normal + Fourth = 45/15 split
Third + Fourth = 15/15

I was thinking about the schedule thing and how to make it easy to assign teachers for a specific job for users.

Let's stick with the new schedule system entirely and NOT use any (traditional) bill mechanisms.

What if you could assign a primary and a possible substitute teacher to a specific class directly from the new schedule system menu? I think this would be pretty immersive as well. You would see which teacher taught which subject that way. It would look really cool too. If at the drop down menu it organized the candidates list of pawns by skill level too, that would be heaven.

The selected teacher would have its normal 'schedule' hours overwritten to school hours only for the days and hours that the class is taught. No need to manually set school schedules for teaching pawns that way. If its not a teaching day for the teacher, it would revert to whatever the schedule for that day was and they would be assigned to their default zoning restriction. This way teachers only show up when needed on days they are assigned and scheduled to teach.

A substitute teacher option would be nice if they were incapacitated or off-map for some reason allowing a substitute to fall in :D

Finally an option to check for teachers to show up an hour earlier than the schedule (prepping and reviewing classes) that enables a small teaching bonus multiplier for the actual taught classes. This way you can be sure the teacher will always be at class in time even if they had to travel across the map.
