This is an important step to recognize the growing Orthodox Christian community and to serve their needs for religious observances especially during the most holiest of days.

I grew up going to the Paramus school system and have always missed days due to practicing my religion as an Orthodox Christian. I believe this will be very helpful for the community.

It is the most sacred day for Orthodox Church. Schools closed many holidays and they should close for this day to be fair for our kids and they don’t miss school work and test quiz.

I believe that Good Friday for Orthodox Easter should be recognized just as Good Friday for Catholic Easter is being recognized.

Every year, Orthodox Christians across the world observe Good Friday and Easter. Since these days are the most sacred of the year for Orthodox parishioners but not recognized by our schools, our children are forced to miss important school work and exams in order to practice their faith.

We deserve our Good Friday to be a holidau for us

Many school districts closings this past year now to include Diwali, Eid, Chinese new year, etc. I think it’s only fair that Orthodox Good Friday be included as well, especially since that includes many groups such as the Syriac, Copts, Armenians, Greeks, etc.

I agree the board of education should recognise and close schools on good Friday. Children should be allowed to stay home from school on a religious holiday and not miss any homework or school assignments.

I believe Orthodox Christians should be able to get off from school on one of the most important days of the year in the Church, especially when other religions are able to take off.
