They canceled holiday off for Good Friday and 60% of the students here did not go to school Friday and many teachers stayed home also. They had to cancel buses as they did not have enough drivers to drive the buses Friday. 402 bus drivers called off Friday. I guess you can change policies, but not how people feel about it. The change in policy was because the Council on American-Islamic Relations asked the board to recognize a Muslim holiday. The board was embroiled in a debate over it. So they canceled Good Friday, Yom Kipper, nor the Muslim holiday Eid Al-Fitr was decided.
So that is how it went Friday here in Tampa area.
