Why?
Because Ramadan lasts for 1 month, usually throughout August and sometimes the first week of September.
This BARELY overlaps with the first week of the new school year.
Ergo, much ado about FUCK ALL!

the document states that:
"The Islamic calendar is based on a lunar cycle, therefore, the month of Ramadan
begins 10 or 11 days earlier each year on the Gregorian calendar; hence it takes
Ramadan about 33 years to move through the seasons from January to December"
thus is can be in any month.
