Because we have to take off for... Lunar New Year.
Most Asian parents value education and want their kids in school, so this one is real puzzler.
Gotta be woke though.
I completely agree.
And Lunar New Year is not even a thing here in America.
We asians want our kids in school, not taking an unnecessary day off for a holiday that we don't celebrate here in our country. It is a performative day off forced on all of FCPS by woke warriors.
If they bothered to ask any of us asians about it, 99.9999% of us would have said to keep the kids in school that day.
Can you please contact the school board and tell them this, and ask your Asian friends/family to contact them too? The FCPS decision makers seem to assume what various groups want in terms of holidays and recognition. Maybe if they hear from enough people, they will realize they are out of step with what is actually wanted by the people they think they are recognizing/supporting with this.
LOLOLOL, you must be new here. They simply do not care.
Yeah, they don’t.

Off is the important word in that sentence. We have to make up the time later.
No, we don’t. We have snow days built into the calendar.

Define "woke." Hint: It has nothing to do with scheduling a day off for students that happens to align with a major holiday.
A major holiday where? To say it is major here in the US is a real stretch.
Honestly?
If FCPS was legitimately trying to give off for culturally significant non religious/religiously adjacent holidays in the US, they would not have put Lunar New Year OR Day of the Dead on the calender.
They would have put the Monday after Superbowl Sunday, Halloween and St. Patrick's Day on the calendar instead.

The big celebration is the night before. Not the day itself.
OK, well there are people here saying they'd rather have their kids in school the next day because it's not really celebrated here anyway. So if that is the case, they should tell the school board that they don't feel a day off is needed.

LOLOLOL, you must be new here. They simply do not care.
Obviously they do care or they would not have put a million holidays into the calendar. Maybe if the hear from the people they think they are helping, they will realize some of them were a misguided effort at inclusion.

Ah yes, because they definitely knew we’d have a snow week when they approved this calendar two years ago.
Lunar new year is not cdlebrated in the US, not even by asians.
This holiday is pandering.
