Also because they are adding a 1/2 day on the 23rd. She said she fought for the day off for Hispanic/Latino people.

I found that irritating. Nochebuena, as she said, is on December 24, not the 23rd. The 24th is off! Seemed really tone deaf that she said that folks need extra time to cook and travel the day before the holiday when literally Eid and Passover just became possible school days if we need snow make ups. Your holiday is off, with a half day prior. No one else gets cooking days.

Ppl can take off that half day if they want to travel or cook or whatever. This is the right choice. We don’t need so many pre-holiday off days.

We don’t need a transition day.

We don't need a transition day or a day to cook. Most of the kids aren't cooking, so they can be in school.

The best solution is to go virtual on snow/weather days.

Almost all the secular schools in the country not only have December 23 off but Dec 21 and 22 too. It's Maryland and much of the Northeast States that starts break on December 24 (Christmas Eve). The reason for that is the requirement to hold 180 days even if bad weather cancels school days. Most other states have a more normal law. If there are makeup days at the end summer is still long enough. Thanksgiving is at least a five day weekend with more places converting to a full week off. The late December break is two full weeks in nearly every state that has a more flexible law.
