SF school board backs away from resolution to recognize Muslim holidays at its campuses

After passing a resolution last month to include two Muslim holidays on the San Francisco Unified School District’s calendar, the district’s school board has voted to reverse that decision.

The resolution approved Tuesday will suspend the board’s initial resolution to recognize Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha as holidays in the 2022-23 calendar. It also calls for “further analysis” on how to adequately recognize culturally significant holidays for students.
