[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Okay, the option E has most support 25.3% vs 24.6% for option A, so mcps recommended it to BOE.  What about the STUDENTS and PARENTS? 
Now, mcps gives a day off on one of the muslin holidays,  and the Indian will ask a day off for their holiday, the Chinese New Year is observed but they can ask for  a day off too, and who else needs a day off?  Since American is not a melting pot any more, a salas bow needs to respect each ingredient![/quote]

The Chinese Coalition has already started a fight to get Lunar New Year off.  And to be honest with you, at this point there is no reason why they shouldn't get it.   How can the BOA justify one minority holiday and not another and another and another.  I remember reading from the BOA a few years ago, the only reason certain days off for ANY holiday were due to the amount of substitutes a school would need, and then AFTER that concern was a certain percentage the kids were absent.  I would have to think there is less than 3-5% of teachers in MCPS that request off for Eid.  [/quote]
