[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]School districts totally messed up here. There should have been asterisk next to the date denoting it was subject to change. Lots of staff made appts that day as they typically do on holidays. And yea there shouldn’t be holidays unless there’s a secular reason for it (such as high number of absences)

Nobody cares if staff made appointments! The point was that Muslim students and staff would have the holiday off to celebrate, which they would’ve done whether it was the 2 or 3rd. It’s really beside the point if some teacher who doesn’t even know what Eid is or celebrate it has to move their dentist appointment now. That wasn’t the intention of the holiday.

FCCPS did the same thing and the school board just voted to move the date yesterday. All of these districts should be embarrassed. It’s not about staff making dentist appointments. Are these districts providing daycare on the day off? My kids are older now so I’m not following that anymore. If you have a small child, now you need to arrange for a sitter on a different day. I hope their school daycare programs are still open but I’m doubtful since it’s a holiday. [/quote]
