about the way yorks public school board staff handled a conflict between high school exams and an islamic holy day the phone rang steadily last wednes day night at the home of the east gwillimburywhitchurch stouffville trustee virginia hackson as parents expressed outrage because the first exam day was being determined by the presence of the new moon students were told they wouldnt know until the last minute whether exams would be delayed by the mus lim celebration eidalfitre which begins when the new moon appears marking the end of ramadan and a month of fasting board staff decided that if the new moon appeared on the wednesday night the exams would be delayed until friday otherwise they would begin thursday the holy day affected about 50 stu dents attending high schools north of elgin mills and about 1000 students to the south there are 29400 high school students across the region complicating matters was the fact the canadian muslim sect had decided in advance that eid would be celebrat ed on friday regardless of the new moon while other sects were waiting to see the moon parents and students had to phone their schools thursday morning to find out whether they would be writing exams or attending classes as usual students were told to call one of four board phone numbers or listen to radio stations to find out whether exams had been postponed but many local parents were angry the first day of exams was dependent on the holiday im certainly not happy about it the trustee said we just look very foolish if we are recognizing these significant holidays then they have to be handled very differently instead of being sensitive to this education group weve almost brought it to ridicule we have to make sure it never happens again it was certainly bad public relations i understand that we try to be sensitive to the entire commu nity but the students were confused but board superintendent bill bell said the confusion was unavoidable because there was no way of knowing whether eid would fall on thursday or friday board policy says we cant have an exam on a significant faith holiday he explained if eid fell on the 30th we would have to break our policy or wipe out a day of exams hackson said staff should have scheduled the exam days at another time or condensed them into four days this week but brushett insists this is a onetime occurrence due to the teachers strike which delayed exams by a week and the fact the chinese new year fell on wednesday many said exams should have been next week but that would make the sec ond semester even shorter than it already is he said they really were stuck rotary meal headlines fisch bill fisch who recently took over as york regional chairman will be the guest speaker at a rotary club break fast which
