I am OP and I cannot take credit for comments at 15:57. But they deserve an ES for wit.

On a serious note, I know kids who are traveling outside the country the afternoon of June 12. I feel that their absence on the 13th should be excused by the same logic.

And staff --not just teachers and paras, but bus drivers, building service workers, and cafeteria personnel? Many of the building service workers at my school are immigrants who traditionally travel to Latin America for Easter celebrations. They never knew that they might have to work on 4/21.

How about family from out of country in MD for only 1 day..only see them 1 time per year. They can't change their travel arrangements? My kids are likely not going though I am usually very committed to them getting to school.
