[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I thought that the reason MCPS closes on the Jewish holidays was because of the number of Jewish teachers who request the days off and the inability to staff the schools. As for the Christian holidays, I assume there is similar logic although they conveniently fall at winter and spring break. Are there enough Muslims teachers in the school system to make this an issue?[/quote] Christmas and Easter don't "conveniently fall at winter and spring break", the schedule is built around the Christian holidays. [/quote] Not any longer. If you have one kid in Catholic school and another in public, your spring breaks will never coincide. It's now just "spring break" and the schools plans accordingly and set it up when it best suits their needs, except for the Catholic schools which adhere to Easter week. And winter breaks are all over the place, running from one week long to 6 weeks for some Ivies. [/quote]
