I think this is a decision for each school district to decide on their own. For example, someone mentioned above that Jewish holidays are not observed. Well, here in Rockland County NY (where there is a very high Jewish population), the schools do have off for most Jewish Holidays.

If there is a school district where there is a very significant percentage of Muslim students, then I don't see why they should not have off. The law of each state dictates how many school days per year schools must be open. Other than Federal Holidays, I think it should be up to the board of each school district to decide the schedule that best fits their students.
