Virtually (if not literally) ALL of the schools, both public and private, were on winter break that week (Monday, December 27, 2010 through Friday, December 31, 2010). All of the public schools had winter break from December 24 through December 31. December 31 is a Friday, so the public schools did't have classes again until Monday, January 3. The private schools had different winter break schedules, but all of them were off all that week for sure.
Any kind of schools can be closed permanently or temporarily due to emergencies or weather.
