Mike and Marc Talk School Law: Episode 6-Religious Holidays & School Law. It’s holiday season! A time for joy, merriment and for educators to struggle with the nexus of religious holidays and public education and the often nuanced issues of what types of displays, ceremonies and recitals can take place in our schools.  Key questions come up all the time: Can we put a Christmas tree in the school lobby; can we sing Silent Night at the Holiday Concert, Mr. Jones is wearing a sweater with Santa on it, is that ok…wait, Ms. Smith is wearing a sweater with a nativity scene…now  is that ok?

Join Michael Nitti, Superintendent of the Ewing Schools, and Marc Zitomer, an education law attorney with the firm Schenck, Price, Smith & King, LLP, as they discuss legal concerns and best practices with regard to the intersection of public education and religious holidays. (20.04)
