[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, they schedule professional days to accommodate religious holidays.[/quote] We didn’t have a PD day on any of the Jewish holidays. Doesn’t seem fair. Either we are off for holidays or not. [/quote] MCPS has been off for the Jewish holidays since I think the 60s or 70s because of the high number of teacher/staff who would need to take off on those days. There were not enough subs to accommodate. Ten years ago when other groups wanted to raise awareness for their holidays mcps initially threatened to do away with all religious holidays (except not really of course, certain ones would always be off). In the end the PD days have been the compromise.[/quote]
