[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]It's completely fine to align Spring Break with Easter.[/b] This is a predominantly Christian nation, so as a practical matter it makes sense to give a holiday when large numbers of people are likely to be off.

I mean, for Pete's sake, they now cancel school for Jewish, Muslim and Hindu holidays, and those are miniscule populations, except in certain clusters where there are higher concentrations of those populations. [/quote]

This.  Hindu population is in single digits at our school, and single percentages across the district I think… yet new holiday… but Easter Monday is scrapped next year.  And yes, that a nationwide holiday in most or all of Europe and South America.[/quote]

At Christian schools yes, in public schools no!
Give Good Friday off if too many people would be out but not that same entire week unless it coincides by accident that year (not every year).
Georgia schools tend to be off the 1st week of April (which is surprisingly late for them based on their last day of school in May) but it's the same every year it just happened to be the week before Easter this year and the week after Easter next year.[/quote]
