Short version is it's the major Muslim holiday marking the end of Ramadan. Apparently as the date approaches the timeline gets more dialed-in based on exactly when the moon is at a certain point and is visible and determined. Both APS and LCPS are adjusting trying to be as correct and respectful of the Muslim community as possible. There's been some discord in APS discussions that different components of the Muslim community might actually celebrate on different days based on interpretations, but this isn't fixing something because of a "screw up".

Really? You're going to act like Ramadan doesn't change every year?

What’s embarrassing is you trying to make this a big deal when you literally know nothing about Eid and apparently think it’s like Christmas where it occurs the exact same day every calendar year . Exactly zero people are bothered by it being moved from Tuesday to Monday once the official date the holiday for our hemisphere was announced

It depends on the lunar cycle, like the Asian Lunar New Year, and to make it more complicated, the new moon has to be visible to local religious authorities, which makes the Holiday fall on different dates in different parts of the world.

So yes, calendars sometimes have to be tweaked. It's OK.

Same thing in APS (I think the vote is outstanding). Apparently the date isn’t set in stone but has to do with moon cycles or something so it is only estimated at first. But I do think school calendars shouldn’t be subject to change like this.
