The Day of the Dead celebrated from about October 28 to November 2. Does LCPS (assuming it is Loudon) have a large Mexican or Hispanic population?

Take for example, they have day off on Oct 29th, 30th, 31st, Nov 1st(2nd and 3rd is weekend) and Nov 4th and 5th. So if someone were to take off October 28th Monday, they get 11 days at a stretch in October. Their other professional days are around a weekend so they get 5 days off in succession. I guess I should be glad that MCPS has more school days but my kids would beg to differ.

Why Oct 29-Nov 1? Because of a larger Indian subcontinent population in Loudon County (close to East Coast's "Silicon" Valley) and families typically travel for holiday of Diwali?

Nov 4-5 election

Opposite. For all the negative posts about mcps, looks like they care more than Loudoun.
