[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] What's your threshold? How many people have to celebrate a religious holiday for MCPS to close for it?[/quote] Certainly not for a few thousand kids. That isn't even close. You are talking maybe 2-4% at most of the entire MCPS population. Less than 2% of teachers/staff. Absences on non holidays are 2.5%. So there is absolutely no reason to close on these holidays. Yesterday my child's class had 2 kids absent for Lunar New Year. Again, not even close enough to close the entire district down for a day. The fact that you think you deserve it is the problem here. [/quote] The question is not, what shouldn't be the threshold? The question is, what should be the threshold? Also, nobody is talking about "deserve". MCPS closes for some religious holidays but not for others. Which religious holidays should MCPS close for, and why?[/quote]
