Holiday school holidays expand to include Islamic and Jewish observances
In Fairfax and Prince William counties Virginia school districts religious holidays for Muslims and Jews are accommodated. Tests and major events are avoided on Eid al Fitr Eid al Adha Rosh Hashana Yom Kippur and Passover first night. Absences for religious holidays no longer count toward attendance in Prince William. Community leaders push to extend protections and respect for diverse faiths.
