We live for this sort of stuff…
The Los Angeles Unified School District Board of Education voted today to make Cesar Chavez Day a school holiday.
The bill adopted by the Legislature in 2000 establishing March 31, the birthday of the late United Farm Workers co-founder, as a state holiday calls for schools to be closed if their school board agreed.
The board resolution calls for Superintendent Ramon Cortines to report back to the board in 90 days with a plan to drop another holiday in favor of the one for Chavez, school board President Monica Garcia said.
(italics, ours)
The calculus on this is actually pretty simple for Mr. Cortines: axe the holiday that he thinks will cheese-off the least amount of people and then see what happens.
