Meh. School districts in Dallas with large Jewish populations take a "Fall Break" during the Jewish high holiday period because the Jewish students will be absent for religious activities and, if they didn't take the break, the absences would be counted against their rating IAW the Texas Ed Agency's reporting guidelines of which attendance is an important component.
And of course there is the "Winter Break" over the Christmas holiday period and the "Spring Break" over the Easter holiday period.
