[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]"Obscure religious holidays" = "religious holidays I don't observe"[/quote]

No they are religious holidays that the government and work places do not observe. If everything else was closed on those days fine but somehow MCPS is special and needs to be the ONLY place closed on those days. [/quote]

In the survey MCPS did last year, 17% of staff said they would not be at work on Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. They would not have enough substitutes for that number of people.[/quote]

Yes, but 15% of staff also said they would not be at work on Veterans Day, which is currently a school day (and typically has parent-teacher conferences). I don't see how that can be true (or if it is true, then a 15% absentee rate apparently isn't a problem). That result made me question the truthfulness of the rest of the survey, unfortunately.
