School district to mark Yom KippurBy Times staff writer © St. Petersburg Times, published January 24, 2001 TAMPA -- For the first time in Hillsborough public school history, all students will be given the day off on the Jewish holiday of Yom Kippur this fall. The county, where roughly 2.5 percent of the population is Jewish, is the first in the Tampa Bay area to recognize a Jewish holiday with a day off. Board members approved it without comment Tuesday. Under the calendar the School Board adopted for the 2001-02 school year, school will begin Aug. 8 and winter holidays will run a full two weeks.
