Maulana Ron Karenga(b. Ronald McKinley Everett, July 14, 1941) is the person responsible for the first kwanzaa, in 1966.
Specifically, the first celebration ran from the last week of December 1966 until New Year's Day 1967. Each year since, the event celebrates the African heritage of African-American communities in the United States of America. The celebrations always are held on the same date and in the same way each year. So the first celebration in 1966 was the beginning of a festive celebration that has become a traditional part of African-American culture.

No, Kwanzaa is not a traditional observance based upon traditional celebrations. Instead, it is a yearly festivity that celebrates the African heritage of African-American communities in the United States of America. It has been held every year since its launching in 1966. So it can be said that a tradition of holding Kwanzaa is established even though the celebrations do not reflect the continuation of any one specifically traditional observance in history.

It depends on where you live, but usually no. Most schools don't close just for Kwanzaa. They close for the holidays (ex. Christmas and New Year's) that are around Kwanzaa.
