SC Department of Education said its Black history calendar doesn’t contradict recent anti-DEI policies

As a legal battle plays out over Black history curriculum bans in schools, the S.C.

Why NC public schools close on Veterans Day while some neighbors stay open

Veterans Day is a required school holiday for North Carolina’s 1.5 million public school students, but students in some neighboring states will have a regular school day Wednesday.

Veterans Day is the only holiday under North Carolina statute that requires public schools to close. Classes can be held on other holidays like Presidents’ Day and Memorial Day, though many districts schedule teacher workdays then.

Neighboring states differ. Virginia and South Carolina allow classes on Veterans Day. South Carolina law requires at least one hour of instruction honoring veterans, with schools that close observing the holiday the next day. Observances still happen. North Carolina schools typically hold events honoring veterans around the holiday, and state law designates November as Veterans’ History Awareness Month. A large veteran population.
