[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have TWO days off next week.  How?!?!  I get it, Diwali, but how about any teacher who doesn't celebrate Diwali uses Monday as their work day, and we just give the handful of Diwali-celebrating teachers subs on Tuesday?  It's insane.[/quote]

Having off for the Jewish High Holy days had been wonderful this year and long overdue. As a school employee AND a parent it is so nice to bed able to observe these religious holidays without needing to use a personal day. In the past school have had teacher work days on religious holidays but I still had to use a personal day and somehow had to make up the work I missed. This is equity in action.[/quote]

I am proposing that they give you a sub or other support some other day so that you personally can be out on your personal set of religious holidays at no cost to you.  It is not logical to close the entire school to support this, rather than just scheduling that 5% of staff some alternate teacher work day.[/quote]
