[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think they need to make a choice between grading days at the end of the marking period and religious holidays. [/quote]Or cut the Federal holidays like Indigenous Peoples day, MLK day, President's Day, etc.  They can be observed as part of the curriculum.[/quote]

They could. But many parents are off on these days. Virtually no one is off on the non-federal religious holidays. [/quote]

I am generally not a supporter of APS closing school for religious holidays but the counterpoint is that no one has to miss school for Columbus Day or President's Day observance (and most parents would love a day off from work when the kids are in school - that is the holy grail!!!). But if you are Jewish and observing Yom Kippur, your kids can't go to school that day. That said, that is not true for all the religious holidays. Even with Rosh Hashanah some families would probably let their kids go to school for the afternoon by high school.[/quote]
