Ridgewood NJ, at last nights Ridgewood Board of Education meeting , Superintendent Dr. Daniel Fishbein recommended three new holidays.
Eid
Diwali
Lunar New Year
On Monday Dr. Fishbein gave a presentation on the holiday calendar survey after providing background on the process. An overview of the survey results was shared, followed by three calendar examples which included Eid, Diwali, and Lunar New Year. After review and discussion, the Board recommended moving these calendars for review by the Calendar Committee. Click here to view the presentation.
All board members except Mr Morgan agreed to forward this recommendation to the calendar committee. Mr Morgan felt that adding new holidays changes secular nature of our schools.
No mention last night of Festivus , Ridgewood currently has one of the largest Festivius celebrations on the east coast .
This was quid pro quo for the newly appointed board member. He will now vote for the 100M referendum plan.
what about Ground Hog Day?
