[b]The ones where they can not staff all the schools or it is state or federal mandated[/b].  This has been said countless times by countless people in multiple threads and in multiple posts.  The state or federal government does not recognize Diwali.  The percentages are so low at MCPS they can not even see a peak of percentages in absences on this holiday.  They can also fully staff each and every school.  ALL of those thing mean that this holiday should not be a day off for the entire school district and extend the school year another day.  If the time ever comes that the states wants to recognize it as a required day off, or if the staff can not operate a school(s) or large percentages of over 20% are not in school, THEN come back and ask.   Making a request for 2% of the school district?  Come on already.  It is getting so old.  [/quote]

That's not a threshold. What threshold do you want? &gt;20%? OK, let's say that if &gt;20% of students or teachers are out, then the schools should close. Otherwise, the schools should stay open.

For which of these current MCPS closures would &gt;20% of students or teachers be out, if there were school (in calendar-year order)?

Rosh Hashanah
Yom Kippur
Good Friday
Easter Monday[/quote]

All of them[/quote]

You think that more than 20% of students or teachers would be out for these holidays? Really? What do you base this opinion on? Easter Monday isn't even really a holiday.[/quote]
