[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hogan's calendar requirements have meant that some school systems will have to tighten the calendar by removing holidays to be sure to hit the start and end dates. Well, I think there is s solution to this problem (yes it requires legal changes):

When a religious group has x% of the population, that group gets up to 2 holidays off per year in the school calendar. Holidays must occur on a weekday to be granted. In other words, if the holiday is on a Saturday, there is no day off on Friday or Monday to compensate. Then we remove ALL other holidays from the calendar. This means no winter break or spring break. We will get Christmas if it falls on a weekday. We may get Good Friday off as a Catholic holiday. We may get the two Eid holidays if they fall during the school year and on a weekday. We may get Diwali off. We may get the Jewish high holidays off.[/quote]

And what do you intend to do on Christmas day when you have 90% of teachers call in sick and no one to teach?  Nice try.[/quote]
