[quote=Anonymous]My understanding is that MCPS has long given off the Jewish high holidays, and of course, there are the breaks around Christmas and Easter. But, a few years ago, there was a Muslim coalition that wanted Eid off, citing the days given to the other religions. MCPS realized that if they honored that request, they would have to honor the requests of every other religious group and there would never be school. So, now instead of calling it a day off for RH or YK, they just say "non-instructional day" rather than officially connect the day off with a religious holiday. [/quote]
