Why are some schools off on Columbus Day?

Answer 1

There are a ton of national holidays in the United states. If schools were closed for all of them, there would be no school. So, school districts pick the most important days to be closed and Columbus day doesn't make the cut fur most schools, especially when it has several negative connotations and a bit of a problematic history. Several states have changed it to indigenous peoples day.

Answer 2

Each school system makes its own calendar. As long as they schedule the required number of days for school, they can schedule whatever holidays off they want. Some schedule Columbus Day off, but it's hard to know their reasons.

Answer 3

There is basically a law that states there must be a minimum of 180 days of school, and that is also why the last 2 days of school in some county/states, it is a 1/2 day.
