[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I see lots of talk about Easter Monday, and yet no one here actually claims to be one of the people who actually DO celebrate it.

Also, a good 50% of the commenters seem not to realize that the Orthodox Church uses the Julian calendar. That means that Easter for them in about a week later in 2023. So are we going to do two Easter Monday holidays??

And if an Orthodox day of obligation is enough to cancel school, I have new for you about New Years Day, All Saint’s Day, the Ascension, the assumption, etc. All of which are holy days of obligation. [/quote]

I do think we should honor both Easter dates. We have a very diverse community. We should either do no holidays unless for a secular reason or all the holidays. I do not appreciate APS making value judgments on what are worthy holidays. Let’s do them all and move to year- round school if needed to meet requirements. [/quote]

It isn't a value judgment. It's a numbers and attendance judgement. At least, it used to be. Now it's just political show and an exaggerated sense of inclusivity and equity.
But I'm on board with year-round school.[/quote]
