[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But there are two days off that week.  Presidents’ Day and Tuesday is also a day off for teacher development or something.

So McPS is going to use both of them to get back the snow days? [/quote]

Tuesday is Lunar new year. If you want to respect religious holidays, you should respect lunar new year too. [/quote]

They do, that's why it wasn't marked as a designated makeup day.[/quote]

Asians didn't lobby much for Lunar New Year as a day off.

Teachers lobbied hard for additional teacher development days/grading days to be added into the schedule, and it was easier to add those in if you could say a certain ethnic group or religion was asking for additional days off to be on par with the Christians and the Jews. [/quote]

Feb 17 is not a professional development or grading day. There's no school for students and teachers.[/quote]

Tuesday Feb 17 is a non-instructional day.  Why would they have Monday Feb 16 President's Day as a school day, but not have Feb 17 as an instructional day?[/quote]

I don’t understand this.  Why is it possible to designate a federal holiday as a makeup day but not the day after? [/quote]

Yeah this is super weird. Also if we are going to go on a Federal holiday I think Juneteenth is one that I’d pick, not President’s Day, since I think finding teacher coverage for a major holiday in less than a month is going to be problematic. [/quote]
