Who Is Closed For MLK Day?

[Lucy]

Surprised that a few of you say your kids are in school on MLK day. I thought it was a national holiday. It's news to me that it isn't! It appears that the ones who said they are in school that day are northern states. Interesting.

schools are closed here but most non-federal employees still work so I will be open. Like someone else said, my next paid holiday is Memorial Day... a fact I keep in mind when I start to feel guilty for having 4 paid holidays for xmas & new years (except years like this where it fell on the weekend, I only took 2 days paid).

I put I'm closed bc one of my families will be out of town and schools for us are closed that day. One of my families is also a teacher so her 2 little ones won't be here that leaves 2 other families...one is in retail but i think her hubby has that day off and the other normally has all the holidays off. I don't think I have anyone but I am going to ck with all the families just to make sure. I could use the money but I'd love to have a full days with my kiddos!!

I was going to open, but then I made a huge mistake and need to close now.

I am full and I accidentally overbooked on Monday, so in order to solve the problem, I decided to just close. This way I didnt have to pick which person I would have to ask to stay home.

This just happens to be one of my DCK last day and it also happens to be one of my new kids first day... If they were to all come, I would be in trouble, because I would be over my capacity.....

I think schools are closed (OH) but most businesses are not around here, so my parents all work, my DH works, etc.

I'm closed - kids are off school (OH- IO!). They also have off the day after MLK day & I will be open that day & likely have a full house.

Schools are closed here (IL) but I am open as the majority of my families will be working that day.

Northern state (Minnesota) here and our schools are closed. I think our school districts set their own schedules.

I am open because the only businesses closed are banks and the government. My clients all have to work, so full house for me!

We're not closed but I have off because I have a SA child and work during his school hours. Since there are a lot of children there with SA siblings, it should be fairly quiet unless the parents send them anyway to play.

We just had the week between Christmas and New Year's off plus the one extra day after New Years so the next day off isn't until President's Day.

I was mistaken. My dd also has off from school. I knew my ds didn't have preschool on MLK. I just checked dd's school website for the calender and seen it was a no school day. So here we go again with the SAers. Lord, help me::

Also in MN and our schools are open. They do have the following Thursday and Friday off for a teachers workshop. I live in an area with three different school districts and all 3 are open.

I remember a few years ago the school district here decided to open for MLK day in favor of closing for Casimir Pulaski day. There must have been some push back, because it didn't last very long.

Forgive my ignorance but...what day???

The two adjacent districts are closed also; but our district schools are closed every Monday this month for various reasons and the two adjacent districts are not. I have school-agers from all three districts and juggling the schedules can be a challenge!

That's what makes me think that the districts have some input in the closed days. At least in Minnesota?

I agree because it is a rare day that ALL three districts have the same closings so I definitely think it is up to the individual districts.
