As Muslim students in the Houston region prepare to observe Ramadan, which begins Friday,...
Children ride a train after prayers on Eid al-Fitr at the George Bush Park, Thursday, May 13, 2021, in Houston. About a thousand people gathered to observe Eid al-Fitr, the Muslim festival marking the end of the holy fasting month of Ramadan, at the George Bush Park, Thursday, May 13, 2021, in Houston. The event was organized by the Tajweed Institute which is led by Imam Raed Alrosan.
“As an extremely diverse school district, we encourage our campus leadership to be culturally aware and meet the needs of their students, especially during periods of religious observances,” said Sherry Williams, Fort Bend ISD spokeswoman. “Campus principals, along with their school leadership teams, disseminate information and implement best practices for their students observing holy days such as Ramadan.
The Houston, Alief, Alvin, Channelview, Friendswood and Katy ISDs also said they offer similar flexibility during Ramadan. “Once a family makes us aware, campus principals and district leadership further discuss a learning plan that will suit the student’s needs during Ramadan,” she said. Though her peers were respectful of her religious practices, Amirah Khan said celebrating Ramadan in public school “doesn’t compare” to her experience at the Houston private Islamic high school that she now attends.
