Good Friday will no longer be a day off for students in Sharon, Massachusetts, starting next school year. Nor will two Jewish holy days.
The school district scrapped Good Friday, Yom Kippur, Rosh Hashanah (two days), and the Wednesday before Thanksgiving from the list of days off it provides students. (Rosh Hashanah fell on a weekend this school year, but has traditionally been observed by the school district when it falls during the school week.)
The pink, blue, and white Transgender Flag is scheduled to be raised at Newburyport City Hall on Holy Saturday and to fly all Easter weekend.
Newburyport Pride is organizing the flag raising, which the mayor of Newburyport, Sean Reardon, is scheduled to speak at, according to The Newburyport Daily News.
