Re: School holidays:
Rejected

What the petition asks
I propose that parents/guardians should be given two weeks a year where they can choose their own holiday dates during term time. The rest can be set by the school.This would help families afford a holiday out of the peak price times.
Why it was rejected
There was already a petition about this issue. Duplicates are rejected so signatures collect in one place.
We cannot accept duplicate petitions. We think this petition is similar to yours:
Make an allowance for up to 2 weeks term time leave from school for holiday.
You might like to sign this petition instead. It is more likely to get more signatures that way.
