Because they decided we need Jewish holidays off.

And Muslim and Hindi and Greek Orthodox.

And Chinese New Year! FCPS just can't take enough days off.

Yes, let's only take off for Christian holidays.

Did they take off for any Christian holidays? I know Christmas falls during the winter break, but they don’t take a day off specifically for that reason. I can’t think of any others.

You voted to have spring break tied to Easter, which is infuriating for non-Christians who would like to take an affordable vacation at some point during the school year. It's impossible to find affordable flights for thanksgiving, christmas, and now easter breaks. Thanks a lot.

Oh, I didn’t vote for that. Did you? I prefer the fixed spring break not tied to Easter.

I thought next year Easter falls during break just because of the wall the calendar works out.

I had heard that it's going to be tied to Easter again moving forward, and that the dates just happened to work out this year.

Name one Christian holiday that isn't already covered by an existing break or on a weekend.

Hint: There aren't any.

The fact that Christmas falls during winter break is a function of the fact that our entire society revolves around the Christian calendar. Just because schools call it "winter break" instead of "Christmas break" doesn't negate the fact that Christmas is a day off for everyone. And I'm not saying that it shouldn't be. Easter, obviously, is a Sunday, so we get it off every year.

Ash Wednesday. But most Catholic churches have an Ash Wednesday service early (or late) to accommodate work and school schedules, so one can still observe Ash Wednesday and go to school.

Good Friday. Ash Wednesday.

The only Christian holiday that FCPS gives off is Christmas. (Easter is on Sunday, and therefore, not taken off by FCPS. Convenient scheduling by the original Christians!)

I mean, the original Christians didn't schedule Easter on Sunday.

FCPS schedules Ash Wednesday off? Last year they were in school on Good Friday.

Read the previous posts. Pay careful attention to this sentence: "The only Christian holiday that FCPS gives off is Christmas."
