[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How should the teachers union address the state-mandated Good Friday and Easter Monday issue?[/quote]

[b]Go out as a UNION and request to the state that they remove one or both of these days as state mandated[/b] so the BOE of each district can handle the 180 days better, the kids get a full week of Spring Break without another day off in the beginning or the end (depending on when they have Spring Break) for either Good Friday or Easter Monday.  As a matter of fact, why not just make Spring break after 3rd quarter and then you don't even need a Q3 planning half or full day.  Teachers get a whole week to grade and report before 4th quarter.  Because really neither are a holiday that kids need to be out of school for and Easter is on a Sunday so there is no need to have any days around it off.   I say this as a Catholic.  I much rather Jewish families fasting for Yom Kippur be off from school than my kids on Easter Monday doing nothing.    [/quote]

Unfortunately the state can't do that. Only the General Assembly can do that. It's state law.[/quote]

Obviously but they can make their voices heard.  You knew that is what the PP meant.  [/quote]
