[quote=Anonymous]Jewish parent of one kid in a charter and one kid in a Jewish preschool (which also means they have spring break on consecutive weeks this year because of when Passover falls in the spring) weighing in to say: It would be very silly to close D.C. schools for Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. What percentage Jewish could D.C.'s public and charter school population possibly be? Charters [url=https://data.dcpcsb.org/stories/s/Student-Demographics/gwuv-6rba/]overall are about 5 percent white, and DCPS is about 13 percent white[/url]. I'd be surprised if the teaching and professional staff demographics were much different. So it's clearly not anything like the situation in Montgomery County (or New York City, or other school systems people have brought up here). So long as the holidays are an excused absence and there aren't essential tests, lectures, etc., held on these days, what's the problem? [/quote]
