[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If we had school on the religious holidays celebrated by a high percentage of the population you know that means all the teachers will be out too? You need teachers, staff, bus drivers to have a school day.

Finding subs is part of the challenge.

This is also part of why MoCo has always had Jewish holidays off. Higher percentage Jewish population in county means more teachers are Jewish and would be out.

It’s not about religion.  It’s about staffing.

Correct. And the evidence showed there were no staffing issues in FCPS on any of these religious holidays. [/quote]

I'm not sure that we saw any definitive proof of that.  They released data about absences, but I don't recall seeing it by job category, which is what really matters. [/quote]

It just really doesn’t matter. No one is going to waste their time researching this to the ends of the earth. The kids are in school the same amount of time. You could have spent all the time you spent on this thread lining up childcare. Relax. [/quote]

Thanks for missing the point. A consistent schedule is better for learning. And the days in June are a complete waste of time. [/quote]
