[quote=Anonymous]Christmas and Easter (Good Friday, Easter Monday) are state-mandated. The absentee rate is irrelevant for those days. MCPS has no choice but to close. I don't think there is any requirement that the district continually reverify their original determination that absenteeism for Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur was significant enough to close. The county has one of the largest Jewish populations in the country, I think 17% of the county is Jewish. The usual absentee rate hovers around 5%. It would not take 100% participation to reach double the usual absentee rate.[/quote]
