[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe April 1?  Not a religious holiday as far as I know (I'm RC, and Easter Monday isn't a thing except a rest day--although I admit that other Christian traditions could vary in ways in which I'm not familiar), and if students are traveling back from spring break, oh well--no harm, no foul: hold school for whoever can come, tick the requirement off, and life goes on.

The problem I could see there is if _teachers and staff_ were planning last-minute travel return from spring break, but my instinct (as someone who teaches elsewhere) is that that number might be comparatively low.

I suppose they'd have to see, and it might get voted down for any number of reasons, but it might be a middle course.[/quote]

They can’t use that day because of MD law. I don’t celebrate Easter but it seems  like it isn’t really the holiday from what I can tell? Isn’t Good Friday and Easter Monday when most people gather/celebrate? Regardless, they don’t have flexibility on that day. [/quote]

Easter Sunday is definitely the holiday.  I'm a lifelong Catholic, and I haven't known anyone who does anything on Easter Monday.  Good Friday has religious observances throughout the day (usually Noon and 3 PM).[/quote]
