[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We should only get Federal Holidays off. We don't need Yom Kippur off.[/quote]

So no Good Friday or Easter Monday?[/quote]

Don't be a dick. I grew up with immigrant catholic families on both sides, in what amounted to a Catholic enclave. Went to Catholic School. Did all the Catholic things and then some.

Good Friday was off b/c the schools paired spring break with it, it wasn't a stand alone holiday. And,[b] "Easter Monday" is not a thing for which there is a day off.[/b][/quote]

Easter Monday is a thing in Washington DC.  If you look at the calendar for DCPS, they have a star denoting the Easter Monday is a "Major Religious Observance" but they don't have the day off.  DCPS has moved their Spring break for SY23-24 to April 15-19 neither on Easter week (3/25-3/30) nor Passover (4/22-4/30).
