[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I really wish they would just do away with the religious holidays altogether. Christmas is a federal holiday so that ship has sailed. But separate spring break from Easter and then get rid of all the rest of them. It’s not like all religions are represented anyway. Allow people excused absences and be done with it. [/quote]

This, or take a survey and have holidays off if some threshold of people who would be absent is met (20%? Higher?). [/quote]

Staff would say yes so they could get the day off. A lot of people who do not celebrate Eid requested it off when APS didn’t change the date at the end of the school year. [/quote]

that was a last minute change that was going to mean an extra day off. If they actually changed their policy school could end earlier or start later with fewer random days off, which I think a lot of people would prefer.

But instead of posting here, please email the school board school.board@apsva.us and the chief of staff brian.stockton@apsva.us[/quote]
