In American public schools is scheduling a break for prayer the same as giving the day off for Yom Kippur?

School districts with a high percentage of Jewish students usually have a scheduled day off (the school is closed) that day.
A man was telling me today about a city in Maine that has a tremendous amount of Somalian immigrants, and they get time to pray in school. Oddly, this was the second time in a week someone was telling me about the Somalians in Maine. He also complained that the kids can’t have Christmas in school anymore.
How should these type of things me handled? Is it all the same, or is there a difference between holidays and praying and various rituals or even required clothing or uniforms.
