A 3820 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 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 (Veterans Day), prohibiting schools from opening on that date. It directly affects school districts and students by mandating a holiday observance that currently depends on individual district decisions. The key provision prohibits boards of education from scheduling school on Veterans Day, ensuring the day is observed as a holiday. The bill takes effect immediately for the first full school year after enactment. It does not change funding, curriculum, or other school operations - only the required closure date.
