A 3822 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Requires school districts to observe Veterans Day as school holiday.

This bill requires all New Jersey public school districts to close on November 11th each year for Veterans Day, replacing their current discretion to choose holiday dates. It directly affects school districts, students, and staff by mandating a school holiday on Veterans Day rather than allowing local decisions. The key provision prohibits school boards from opening schools on November 11th, ensuring consistent observance. The law takes effect immediately for the first full school year after enactment.
