[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's time to re-evaluate being off for every single cultural and religious holiday. 25 years ago, we were only off for Christmas, Easter and Jewish holidays. This was because more than 15% of staff and students celebrated these, making finding subs for teachers difficult. There needs to be a way to make it fair for all without sacrificing the continuity of consecutive days of learning. I'm not sure what the answer to this is, but it needs to really be looked at.[/quote]

Let's cut out the Christian holidays.  The issue with some holidays is teachers want to take off, reasonably and there aren't enough subs.[/quote]

I agree the spring Christian holidays should be the first to go. Unlike the Jewish or Muslim holidays, Easter always falls on a Sunday. There is no season for school to take time off for that. But state law has to change. Maybe it’s delusional, but if the legislature is already addressing school calendar issues, they could take care of this.[/quote]
