Day off on Eid for Maine Township Highschools


Day off on Eid for Maine Township Highschools
The Issue
Eid is a Islamic Holiday that is celebrated by many of Maine Township High School students and staff. But, it is not granted a day off from school like Christmas, Good Friday, Rosh Hashanah, and other religious holidays. Although it is not a day off, it is an excused absence. Many students and some staff members do take the day off, but when they come back, they have to catch up on work and it puts a lot of stress on them. Sign this petition if you agree that Eid and other religious holidays should be a day off from school.
