[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does APS have to observe and the religious AND federal holidays?  Pick one.  If we need to keep the religious ones, then drop Indigenous People's Day/Veteran's Day, etc.  FCPS doesn't have these days off.[/quote]

This is really convenient proposal when Christmas is a federal holiday. [/quote]Private companies don't observe all Federal holidays.  It makes sense to coordinate with working parent schedules.

Having school on Xmas is a ridiculous strawman.  I'm fine with school on Easter Monday, Good Friday, Ash Wednesday, Assention and Assumption and other Christian holidays that are observed in other places.[/quote]

“Easter Monday” is not a thing. [/quote]

None of those days are ever holidays here. [/quote]
I always had Ash Wrdnesday and Good Friday off as a kid in a very Catholic part of the country. They are religious holidays and many kids went to mass.  They aren't acknowledged in APS, just like all the other religious holidays weren't until last year, but that doesn't make them not religious holidays.[/quote]
