[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here: I requested 1 hour early, not to miss completely. She gave them a week’s notice, but they only came to their decision last night.

1 weeks notice isn't near enough.   The holiday observation should have been flagged as a conflict day 1.  [/quote]

Do you need to “flag” Christian holidays for coaches on “day 1” to give “enough” notice? Do you flag Christmas Eve and Easter each year? Is there a policy where everyone of every religion must flag their holidays on day 1 so the coaches have a full accounting? This isn’t some obscure holiday. The entire school system is usually closed but this year it happens to start on a Friday evening into Saturday. The entire system is closed on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving presumably because people need to travel and have a minute to prepare for holidays. The request is a reasonable excused absence and the retaliation of the coach is against policy and discriminatory. [/quote]

Of course I would flag a Christian holiday early.  An Buddist or Muslim one too for that matter.  It's not the coaches job to track my thing.  I need to be responsible and put it in their radar so they can prepare.   Geez.[/quote]

The student gave plenty of notice so they could “prepare.” It was on their radar. All kinds of other things come up (concussions, death in family, extreme thunderstorms) where there is even less advance notice and somehow these coaches are able to pivot and still run their practices. The punitive resolution is the issue. [/quote]

Last ex use for your lack of communication.[/quote]
