[quote=Anonymous]I thought that the reason a religious holiday warranted that the school be closed had to do with the absenteeism rate. That seemed like a logical approach - pick a percentage and stick with it. If you observe a holiday and school is open, a teacher can request a substitute and the student can miss the day without penalty. No tests are given, they can be given a homework pack, it isn't the end of the world to skip a day of school. People do it to go to Disney all the time! The MCPS BOE is pretty weak and easily influenced and makes embarrassing decisions that they don't stick to.[/quote]
