The schedule is different every year and there is a conversation within the district - between the school principals and the district leadership - that determines what each year will look like and which days will be off besides the regular holidays.
So far I have not figured out how the parents and our small community of interest is heard. The LA area has a very large Jewish community but out little town has a smaller percentage.
