“State law makes it clear that we cannot close schools for religious purposes, but only for operational reasons, such as high absenteeism among staff or students. If a student is observing a religious holiday, it is considered an excused absence and the student must be given ample opportunity to make up any work and cannot be penalized in any way. We do not schedule tests on a major religious holidays.”More

Since when do we celebrate Cult holidays?
That is as much of a concession that needs to be made.
NFW anything special for them!
3:32-There are about 1.6 billion Muslims, or 23% of the world's population, making Islam the second-largest religion. Hardly a cult.
What's with you taking every opportunity to hate on Muslims and their religion? Get a grip.
I hate Muslims, I hate Obama b/c he is a Muslim and frankly I hate you b/c you voted for Obama...
3:57 Muslims are low life dirt balls who insist on forcing their religion on us even to the point of killing us to get there. And I do have a grip when it comes to Muslims. It's on a colt 45.
Plenty of reason to hate Islam. Just read the news. Is it really a religon or even a cult. Closer to Nazism.
I only hate the belief they hold that I should be killed because I am some sort of "infidel" because I am a Christian. I do not hate the person, only the sin against Mankind they wish to commit on a daily basis.
357, Can you possibly understand that concept?
I have the freedom to pray to MY God any time I want to. I can pray for these Muslims' souls, that they change their murderous ways, and live to let live in love, but until they actually do, well, they are still murderous a$$holes, aren't they?
Get the "Hate" thing, now? It's called Self Defense!
Better watch out, Wicomico County is next. Last year, the Muslims asked for no testing in this county on that same holiday and spineless Frederickson approved it at the last minute. Asking for schools to be closed is next.
Spineless !
Send johnny boy back north.
Why not. The Christian holidays have been rammed down our throats for years.
