That is a nice, comprehensive overview.  I'm not as concerned about the calendar as most (longer summers are worse than random days off), but I do understand the opposition to it.

Veteran's Day and Indigenous Day are the low-hanging fruit and I expect that this change will pass the Board.  However, that doesn't address the religous/cultural holidays.  They simply can't go back to a world in which Good Friday and Easter Monday are the only holidays.  I'm not sure what the realistic option is here.

[i]Since 2022, FCPS has observed up to 9 cultural and religious holidays: Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, Diwali, [b]Lunar New Year[/b], Eid al-Fitr, [b]Good Friday, Easter Monday, Orthodox Good Friday,[/b] and Eid Al-Adha. [/i][/quote]

These ones should not be holidays. And I say that as a Catholic who does celebrate Good Friday (church and dinner is at night).

Lunar New Year is not religious.[/quote]
