[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But there are two days off that week.  Presidents’ Day and Tuesday is also a day off for teacher development or something.

So McPS is going to use both of them to get back the snow days? [/quote]

Tuesday is Lunar new year. If you want to respect religious holidays, you should respect lunar new year too. [/quote]

They do, that's why it wasn't marked as a designated makeup day.[/quote]

Asians didn't lobby much for Lunar New Year as a day off.

Teachers lobbied hard for additional teacher development days/grading days to be added into the schedule, and it was easier to add those in if you could say a certain ethnic group or religion was asking for additional days off to be on par with the Christians and the Jews. [/quote]

Feb 17 is not a professional development or grading day. There's no school for students and teachers.[/quote]

Tuesday Feb 17 is a non-instructional day.  Why would they have Monday Feb 16 President's Day as a school day, but not have Feb 17 as an instructional day?[/quote]

I don’t understand this.  Why is it possible to designate a federal holiday as a makeup day but not the day after? [/quote]

MCPS didn't designate either one as a makeup day on the original calendar because the state doesn't usually allow them to have school on Presidents Day. But the state just changed that and now it is allowable, so the Board could vote to make either or both of those days school days. [/quote]
