[quote=Anonymous]The true equity answer would be to follow the attendance numbers even when they don't give the answer you want. The committee identified 4 holidays. The current attendance data only possibly supported the Islamic holidays, where it appears absences double. Rather than accept the data shows we have diversity but not as much as we'd like to brag about, they decided all or nothing. Picking and choosing which minority religions or cultures to follow isn't going to end well. Instead they've done something in the name of equity that isn't equitable. January has only a few days that can be actual test or assignment days with block scheduling. That will hurt the kids who are struggling or have learning disabilities because now they will be slammed with tests and assignments on those days. [/quote]
