They are not going to shorten the school year. They would need to remove either the federal holidays or the new religious days or shorten the Winter Break and I don't see them doing any of that. The only one I potentially see them doing is removing the federal holidays. Losing the new religious holidays will cause a stink with the various religions and shortening winter break will piss off the people who take a month at that time of year to travel to Asia/SE Asia visit family and the parents who want two weeks in Europe or skiing.

If religious holiday must be kept as days off for all students, then schedule Teacher work days (professional development or planning days) on religious holidays and allow specific teachers to take off religious holiday on Teacher workdays if relevant to their religion.

Teacher here.  They are doing that for some of them that year - Lunar New Year and Orthodox Good Friday.  But there are way too many Professional Workdays - we don't need 10 throughout the year.  [/quote]

I fully agree that there are too many Professional Workdays. Most of my Teacher friends say they are a waste of time and would prefer to be teaching or have them for lesson planning, IEP meetings, and grading if they are going to have them.[/quote]
