[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What’s embarrassing is you trying to make this a big deal when you literally know nothing about Eid and apparently think it’s like Christmas where it occurs the exact same day every calendar year . Exactly zero people are bothered by it being moved from Tuesday to Monday once the official date the holiday for our hemisphere was announced [/quote]

This is false. Lots of people made plans and appointments for the day off school and no it shouldn’t be changed a month out. [/quote]

The holiday isn’t for people making appointments, it’s for those celebrating Eid, which is not scheduled the same way as certain other holidays.

Sorry for your inconvenience![/quote]

Yes. The day was chosen to accommodate those celebrating Eid. But the *school calendar* itself was published well in advance because of the larger school community that needs to be able to plan their schedules. Employers are not always accommodating of schedule changes and many people here don’t have local family to just help out if something changes. School employees use days off to schedule personal things like medical appointments. There needs to be some expectation that the school board isn’t going to just change dates off unless it’s absolutely unavoidable like a weather emergency. What is the point in having a school calendar if the attitude is simply a sarcastic “sorry for your inconvenience” if dates off get changed.[/quote]
