[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The easy answer is that Montgomery County, especially the west side, is full of Jews. Jews have a lot of political pull and their campaign contributions are important.[/quote] This may be an easy answer, but its not correct. "As authorized, the Board adds additional holidays to those listed in ยง 7-103(c), including Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, President's Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Yom Kippur, and Rosh Hashanah. The Board decided to include Yom Kippur and Rosh Hashanah to the list of holidays because high absenteeism among both teachers and students on those days resulted in low instructional productivity and increased costs for substitute teachers." see KOENICK v FELTON [url]http://caselaw.lp.findlaw.com/scripts/getcase.pl?navby=search&case=/data2/circs/4th/971935p.html[/url][/quote]
