[quote=Anonymous]We get the religious holidays off that impact the most staff, teachers and then students. Although they no longer call the days off by their religious name in the school calendar, they still give off the holidays that they are least likely to be able to staff. If MCPS closed for every religion’s holidays there would not be enough school days. This is not perfect and absolutely not ‘fair’ for people whose holidays fall on school days but other than by the numbers I know no better way to sort what days school should be closed. I would think that if more staff, teachers and students celebrated Diwali and so asked for the day off or got an excused absence, the next year MCPS would need to be closed. [/quote]
