OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — An effort to rename Millard Public Schools’ winter break to “Christmas break” has failed.

School board member Paul Meyer proposed renaming the break before the board adopted the 2017 to 2018 school calendar at a meeting Monday. His effort garnered sympathy, but no support.

Meyer was concerned that the calendar didn’t place enough significance on the religious holiday.

Board President Mike Kennedy said he appreciated Meyer’s position, but said he didn’t believe the administration made an intentional effort to remove Christmas from the calendar.

None of the board members present — Kennedy, Mike Pate and Pat Ricketts — seconded Meyer’s motion. The board then adopted the calendar on a 3-1 vote without specifying a name for the break. Meyer was the dissenting vote.
