[quote=Anonymous]According to a New York City study, declaring two Muslims Eids per year as a holiday would only knock off nine school days over the next 20 years. http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/opinion/oped/bs-ed-eid-school-20150923-story.html I suspect Diwali --also based on a lunar calendar-- would have a similar limited impact. In 2016, Diwali is on October 30. A SUNDAY. In 2017, Diwali is on October 19. That is a Thursday, but MCPS already eliminated the day for teachers to attend the State conference in 2016. Just eliminate it again in 2017. FWIW, I teach for MCPS. [/quote]
