[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Jewish family here. Given what I assume is a small minority of Jewish students and teachers in DCPS, and the hardship on families to close school (alternative child care, free breakfast and lunch), I am totally fine not being closed on the high holidays. Our kids just don’t go to school. I think would be appropriate to not schedule major school events or tests on those days, but even then we’ll survive. It’s the experience of being in the minority. [/quote] This x100[/quote] ^^ this is also an issue. Don't need to school to shutter on our behalf. Teachers are not well informed and properly trained to account for major holidays in their lesson planning and scheduling. We had an issue missing a sporting events due to a game scheduled on Yom Kippur. I'd include Ash Wednesday and Eid in that as well, although I think more teachers are familiar rites of Catholicism than those of Judaism or Islam.[/quote]
