[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Jewish person here. I think whether the schools close should depend on the % of Jewish students and teachers and how disruptive it would be. If DCPS doesn't have a critical mass, then it shouldn't close. Considering that many low income families in DC (who are, for the most part, not Jewish) rely on DCPS being open for child care, free lunch, etc. I would not be in favor of adding 2 more days off to the calendar. In MoCo, since they close for Jewish holidays, they should close for major Muslim holidays as well, if the % of students and teachers is similar. [/quote] Another Jewish person here and I agree with this. I grew up in Fairfax county, and always just took two excused absences for the high holidays. It was fine. I doubt the overall percentage of Jews in DCPS is high enough to warrant a school holiday. [/quote]
