[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Christians get a week off for Christmas and Easter.  In fact spring break moves around each year to be aligned with Easter.  Even some religious schools don't move spring break from year to year (like St Albans/NCS).[/quote]

While Winter Break is pretty much all about Christmas, Spring Break is NOT all about Easter. Passover occurs a few days before Easter. If you look at the MCPS calendar during spring break, there is always a note that says "Passover begins on Month, Day."

Honestly, I don't mind the closure for Rosh Hashanah. I schedule dental appointments and make use of the time to get the "kid-type things" done. True, it's a bit difficult with the interruption in school, but this year, my kids bounced back into school Friday without missing a beat.

What I do mind is being closed the day after Easter. No other school districts are closed on Easter Monday.  And being closed for primaries and elections. When I was a kid, our schools weren't closed on election days.
