[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] It was for Eid. But they can't say that because we are a secular school system. [b]So now we are getting off for religious non-federal holidays that approx 5% of the school's population celebrate.[/b] If we started Aug 28th this year, we would have been off Sept 1st for Eid as well. [/quote] Yes, we are, by state law, and we have been for decades. What percentage of MCPS students observes (Western) Good Friday? Not to mention, who celebrates (Western) Easter Monday? That isn't even a religious holiday.[/quote] Well it is a state law, [b]nothing the BOE can do about that[/b]. I sure as heck don't want those two days. I hate having Spring Break wrapped around Easter. The BOE should have never allowed Eid to be a school holiday. [/quote] You can do something about it, though.[/quote]
