[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]While we are at it can we ban the school closures for Jewish holidays? PLEASE. This is the bane of my existence every year. Let them have an excused absence on the basis of their religion but learning and school should continue on their holidays. [/quote] So, MCPS periodically does surveys of families and employees to inform these decisions. Consistently, it turns out that enough teachers and staff will be out on Jewish holidays to justify a closure. Even before the current sub shortage, there just were not enough folks to cover those classes so they ended up being "lost" days anyway. If there won't be any learning, MCPS may as well close that day officially and add a day when learning will take place. [/quote]
