[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Look at your calendar for the current year. We had Monday, 9/14/15 OFF this year. So, there won't be any real change next year with this holiday. Simmer down, folks.[/quote] Actually it IS a big deal, thanks to the Board of Education deciding that 9/12/16 is a holiday for students but a Professional Day for teachers. Teachers are PAID to work. Since they made this a Professional Day, a Professional Day had to be moved from elsewhere in the calendar or it would have cost $7 million in salary. On 9/14/15 and every other Jewish holiday, schools were closed for students AND staff. Simple solution would be to treat 9/12/16 like 9/14/15 and just close for everyone. But no, our Board of Education just can't keep from tripping all over themselves to make asinine decisions.[/quote] [b]9/14/15 wasn't a Jewish holiday. It was a professional day[/b]. [/quote] Wrong! 9/14/15 was Rosh Hashana.[/quote]
