We don’t know how many emails there were? It’s puzzling to me that Duran and staff were moving to close schools without a second thought, especially in light of the magnitude of the economic impact and the newness of the holiday.

Are we sure he wanted to close? He can look like the good guy to some groups from an inclusion perspective, knowing full well it would be voted down.

Yes, it was initially a superintendent recommendation. They weren’t going to vote on it.

If you watch the video of the board meeting, it's obvious that staff was all in on adding this holiday. They actually seemed angry that they had to defend their decision. All of their answers about other scheduled events were dodges about how they would work with the school communities without actually committing to anything at all. It really makes me question their competence, frankly.

I don’t think anybody even considered that things would need to be canceled. Let alone things that could not be rescheduled. They thought they were gonna get pets on the back for being progressive.

Wow.

I mean Christmas vacation kind of screws up my entire life considering I don’t have any leave at all.

At least you know the dates of winter break a year or two in advance.

Why is it important to followers of Islam that everyone get their holiday off?

How exactly would they work with the schools to replan events that have been paid for with vendors booked for months? Travel plans made? Or for the graduation, are they going to reschedule Gramma and Gramps hotel and flights who are already booked to come?

They didn’t care about that or even consider it. They wanted kudos from the Muslim community and over the top white liberals

According to APS there were "no issues" per the Shriver Principal with changing the grad date. Hmmm. Wonder how parents felt?

And the students!

This is ridiculous. It should be an excused absence for students who observe the holiday.

Also, how is this equitable? There are families with young children who might not be able to afford childcare or to take the day off so last minute.

And, there are children who count on getting fed at school who will miss two meals.

When pressed they admitted that it would be impossible to reschedule or make up some events, the dances, and in particular the music department trip to PA, which… cost a lot, all paid by parents, fundraisers and kids’ work.
