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. A longstanding state law makes North Carolina’s approach different from Virginia and South Carolina. FULL STORY: Why public schools are closed on Veterans Day in NC, but not in some states Here are key takeaways: State law requires it. 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. The law only applies to traditional-calendar schools, but charter schools usually also close on Veterans Day. No school on Sundays. State law also bars public schools from holding classes on Sundays. 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.
