WAKE COUNTY, N.C. (WTVD) -- Wake County students could soon get the day off for a Muslim holiday, which would be considered a teacher workday.
A petition asking the Wake County Public School System to make the Muslim holiday of Eid Al-Fitr a district holiday has already garnered nearly 4,000 signatures in just 10 days.
Mariya Shaikh, whose three children go to Wake County Schools, created the petition, and said a calendar committee for the district added Eid Al-Fitr to the 2020-2021 draft calendar as a teacher work day.
Shaikh said the Jewish holiday of Yom Kippur and two Hindu holidays were also recommended for the calendar.
