FCPS School Calendar Vote: A letter from the JCRC
JCRC of Greater Washington
As Shabbat nears, we want to take a moment to reflect on last night’s deeply disappointing vote by the Fairfax County School Board. Like so many of you, we hoped that meaningful progress was finally within reach, after years of struggling with FCPS over unfair treatment of Jewish students forced to miss school on our holidays, endure inappropriate Christmas-related activities, and bear the brunt of increasing incidents of antisemitism.

Letter to Montgomery County Board of Education on Proposed 2021-2022 Calendar Options
JCRC of Greater Washington
Dear President Wolff and fellow Board of Education members: We write to you today in reference to your upcoming vote on the 2021-2022 MCPS calendar. We wish to bring to your attention a conflict in one of the two proposed calendars currently under consideration, which would negatively impact many members of the Montgomery County Jewish community.
