This petition is ONLY for Rockaway Borough residents and property owners.
We, the undersigned residents and or property owners in Rockaway Borough, support the closure of Rockaway Borough Public Schools for students on Eid ul-Fitr and Eid ul-Adha. The dates for these holidays can be found on the New Jersey Department of Education’s list of Holidays Permitting Pupil Absence, as provided by the Council of American Islamic Relations and confirmed by the Islamic Center of Morris County.
We respectfully request that the Rockaway Borough Board of Education approve these holidays in their future school calendars to accommodate the religious observances of our community.
