[b]Spring break should align with Easter. Even many secular countries in Europe provide time off around Easter, so this is a reasonable middle ground.[/b]

Are you sure those countries are secular? Easter is not the same time every year but if spring break is aligned with Easter it should be the week following Easter not the week before. If going by a secular schedule (this is public school afterall) spring break should follow the 3rd quarter. If going by Easter spring break should be the week AFTER Easter. The week before Easter doesn't make any sense since Easter floats and school resumes the day after for students sometimes and teachers every year. While the week after Easter also floats it at least eliminates having school the next day.[/quote]

Private schools, even many Christian private schools in the area (not catholic), have spring break the last 10 days of March. If it doesn’t coincide with Easter, the more religious schools may offer Good Friday and/or Easter Monday but spring break is the end of March regardless of when Easter is.  It is possible to decouple the spring holiday from Easter.  Just saying.[/quote]
