In the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) any student or teacher can take off Rosh Hashana or Yom Kappur without question, but just try to get August 15th off. They'll tell you they checked with the local chancery office and were told that there is no more holy day on August 15th, because it has been moved to the nearest Sunday.

They moved Ascension Thursday to the following Sunday, too. And it looks like they're moving Nov. 1st this year, a Wednesday, to the following Sunday. They've been talking about moving Christmas and Easter as well.

But apparently January 1st (so-called Mother of God, but traditionally the Feast of the Circuмcision) is not on the chopping block just yet since it's a secular holiday, "New Year's."
