New York City public schools will close on Thursday to observe Eid al-Adha, a significant Muslim holiday. Although the holiday starts Thursday evening, the city has made provisions for students and staff to take the day off and adjust their schedules. A scheduling error has led to staff working remotely on Friday, while some schools will remain open for in-person instruction. Additionally, the city is accommodating students needing to miss school for the holiday, reflecting an inclusive approach to cultural observance in the school calendar.
The school calendar set aside Thursday as a day off for Eid al-Adha, but the Muslim holiday doesn't start until Thursday evening. Schools are making last-minute changes for Friday.
Students who need to be absent, late, or depart early for observance of Eid al-Adha will be excused, demonstrating the city's adaptability to the cultural needs of its diverse population.
