[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Extra days for Thanksgiving and Christmas but no option at all for time off for Passover. [/quote]

I just saw that Passover 2024 is about a month after Easter. It is usually the same week as Easter, but the lunar calendar doesn't cooperate in 2024.

I suggest writing into BOE.

Possibly 10 years ago, Passover was a month of so after Easter. There were no additional days off. But this was before BOE put in every religion's holiday into the schedule. [/quote]

Every year, Orthodox Easter falls the week after Spring Break and thousands of Ethiopian students miss 2-3 days of school in observance. [/quote]

Start participating in BOE meetings during open forum. How do you think everything else got added to the calendar? Go every meeting. Use the same language. "It's not fair that we are being discriminated against." Explain why Orthodox Easter is important. The BOE doesn't know and will claim that they are covering "all the important holidays". [/quote]
