[quote=Anonymous]Actually the day after Easter, Easter Monday, is a STATE holiday. All state offices are closed, and I beleive the state forces all public schools to be closed that day as well. The percentage of teachers who are Jewish has decreased over the past few decades, but it still would be difficult to find subs for all of them should schools be open on Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. I wonder if MCPS will continue to close on the Jewish holidays going forward, however. As our county becomes more diverse, I believe there will be a push to close on religious holidays other than those that are Christian and Jewish. The Board coould respond by not closing on any of them, well not on the Jewish ones. Ain't no way they'd open on Christmas![/quote]
