[quote=Anonymous]I think it must be the reason a PP posted - it’s a lunar holiday and the date shifted from when the school board set the calendar - remember they set like three years at once last time to give predictably.

I think it’s good they did not change it. We cannot go around constantly changing the date of these lunar holidays. When they changed for Eid in spring the other year it was chaos.

And plz for the love of god would PPs stop asking “why don’t we go to school on Xmas?”  The vast vast majority of the county celebrates Xmas and it would be logistically impossible to run the school system on Xmas. Plus remaining open the surrounding days too would guarantee they could not staff our schools since no teachers would want to work then considering everywhere else in the country has some type of December winter break off built around Xmas.

In other countries where the majority celebration is Diwali or Eid or Lunar new year the schedules reflect that since it impacts the vast majority of the population. [/quote]
