In keeping with the One Fairfax policy and our Strategic Goals of Caring Culture and Student Achievement, the School Board will create a Task Force on Religious Observances to review current policies and practices regarding religious holidays, observances and practices of our students and staff.
The task force will consist of community members who are representative of our diverse stakeholders and a range of religious faiths.
The task force will review best practices and policies from within our system as well as those in other school divisions.
The goal of the task force will be to help identify and recommend areas of improvement that may include communication, education, and regulations related to our school year calendar and appropriate accommodations of religious obligations during the school day.
