[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]In a place like DC where people work long hours and have very tightly controlled schedules and calendars, yes, people schedule appointments and arrange childcare around school closings. The courteous thing to do would be to let people know that a date is tentative and will be made final as it approaches. Changing it on people like this stinks. [/quote]

Yes, it's going to be inconvenient to the tiny minority of people who scheduled other activities that day and now must either call their child in sick, or if they are a staff member, take sick leave.

Inconveniences are challenges but they do happen, particularly when new procedures (like a new holiday) are implemented. Perhaps in the future the holiday will be marked as moveable, since this was the first time LCPS observed it. I suggest you contact your school board member(s) to make that recommendation.[/quote]

Again there is no need to mark it as moveable. They should just pick one method of determining eid and stick by it. Since the calculation method determines it in advance they can use that method. Trust me there is no need to over complicate things.
