The SFUSD board's decision to add two Muslim holidays to the 2023-24 school year is raising questions among community members.

Community members are debating the SFUSD board's vote to add two Muslim holidays to the 2023-24 school year.San Francisco's public schools will add two holidays next academic year. The school board voted to close all schools on two of the holiest Muslim days. This is not sitting well with some people who say we need more instruction not less.

The San Francisco Unified School Board agreed. Only one member, Ann Hsu, voted against adding these two holidays, arguing that there isn't a process in place when selecting holidays. "I think a lot of our families would rather see opportunities to discuss Jewish identity and celebrations in the classroom bringing Passover, bringing Hanakkah and bring the rest of SFUSD kids into our traditions and do the same thing for Muslim and Hindus and Christians and other minorities," argued Tyler Gregory of the Jewish Community Relations Council.California also acknowledges Cesar Chavez Day and Indigenous People's Day.
