[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] As someone posted earlier, MCPS does NOT "observe" Jewish holidays. [b]Schools are closed ONLY because of the number of students who would be out in addition to the number of teachers and a lack of substitutes to cover (and expense of substitutes for a significantly reduced number of students).[/b] There are several religious Jewish holidays where the system does NOT close. For that matter, even for the highest holy days, only schools (students/teachers) are closed. Twelve month employees (principals, central office, etc...) are not off unless they choose to take leave.[/quote] Although, as far as I know, MCPS has never done a count of this. Certainly where I live, there are far more Muslim students (also Hindu students) than Jewish students. I don't think that there are any Jewish teachers either.[/quote]
