[quote=Anonymous]The county, by its own admission posted on their website, is only supposed to give five religious holidays...both eids, yom Kippur, diwali, and Christmas. Six if you count Christmas eve.

But this year they added many others that are not on their official list of holidays as defined when we first went thru this a few years back to figure out which holidays had the greatest impact on attendance. Next year, they're back to the original five.

I have no idea why they decided to add in four new religious/cultural holidays with no feedback or data only to take them away the following year. This year's calendar was a bizarre anomaly. Without any changes at all next year's calendar already has two additional five day weeks compares to this year's.

This kneejerk reaction is typical of the school board.

They created this mess and are now complaining about it. As if they can't see that the addition of the religious holidays and early releases is the reason why we get out so late and why parents are complaining about consistency.

I couldn't care less about having the religious holidays or not and I don't care about the number of five day weeks. But I just can't stand the ignorance and them acting dumbfounded as if they have no idea how this happened. [/quote]
