New Jersey School Board Backtracks on Decision to Remove Holiday Names From Calendar
The school board in Randolph Township in Morris County, New Jersey, has reversed a decision to erase all holiday names from the school calendar following backlash from parents.
Randolph’s Board of Education on Monday night voted to restore the names of holidays, admitting in a statement that the decision was made “without proper consideration.”
“The very essence of education is to learn, to grow and to apply lessons learned,” the district said, promising that in the future, a review committee will seek community input before proposing any changes to the calendar.
