[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But there are two days off that week. Presidents’ Day and Tuesday is also a day off for teacher development or something. So McPS is going to use both of them to get back the snow days? [/quote] Tuesday is Lunar new year. If you want to respect religious holidays, you should respect lunar new year too. [/quote] They do, that's why it wasn't marked as a designated makeup day.[/quote] Asians didn't lobby much for Lunar New Year as a day off. Teachers lobbied hard for additional teacher development days/grading days to be added into the schedule, and it was easier to add those in if you could say a certain ethnic group or religion was asking for additional days off to be on par with the Christians and the Jews. [/quote] Feb 17 is not a professional development or grading day. There's no school for students and teachers.[/quote]
