[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love the idea of looking at historical absence data. I'm not against adding more days off if we need them, but we need to have a reasonable conversation about this. Really, what is the standard? 10%? 5%? 1%? What makes sense? All these extra days are disruptive for teachers and students. So let's add them carefully and thoughtfully. I just can't back adding holidays that 1% of all people in a community celebrate. [/quote] I think it can be used as a data point but there will always be people unable/unwilling to take a day off who may celebrate and will now that the days are off. This year was particularly disruptive because of where the holidays fell, if will be a much better schedule next year. [/quote]
