[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The situation isn’t all on Hogan, MCPS has new days off such as for the Eid holiday. Between the late start, holidays and staff days, the MCPS calendar is a mess.[/quote]
Maybe MCPS could start after all the religious hollidays in September so students can focus on learning.  Just add one or two hours to each school day.[/quote]

What you don’t like have three 4 day weeks in a row in Sept so the 7% Jewish population in MCPS can have 2 mid week holidays off, while 93% have to pay for daycare? Seems reasonable to me.  :lol: [/quote]

1. Actually it's because MCPS can't find enough subs.

2. If you're paying for daycare for your middle-school or high-school kids, you're doing it wrong.[/quote]

Yes because even though there is only 7% - there are 50% Jewish teachers and substitutes. LOL [/quote]

Interesting.  According to the survey, 
[quote] In total, 37,400 respondents completed the survey and provided quality survey responses. The report includes results from 1,225 students, 27,177 parents, 8,155 staff members, and 843 community members.[/quote]

According to MCPS:
There are 160,680 students, so 0.75% of students responded.
There are 24,246 staff, so 33.6% responded.

Of the 1/3 of staff who responded, about 15-17% said that they would take the Jewish holidays off.

When the survey came out, the county synagogues did a big push to make their congregants complete the survey.  That 33.6% of the staff respondents is most probably going to have much more of the Jewish teacher subgroup than the 66.7% so that 15-17% is much more likely to be close to 5% of the total teaching population.
