They have in recent years.



They will close.

I think NCS will have to close because of its proximity to the Cathedral and issues regarding security (all living presidents will be there). Also, with employees in the parking lot, where will funeral attendees park?

Yes cathedral schools will close and some northwest dc schools will also.

No schools like potomac and other schools nowhere close to event won’t close.

The Cathedral schools have closed for several recent funerals. This one, with multiple former Presidents in attendance, will certainly warrant the highest-level of security for the close. I'd be shocked if those schools were open.

As for the other schools in DC, no, don't see them closing.

+1 Parent of a Cathedral Chorister. The schools have been closed for multiple recent events. For one the security was so tight I had to drop my chorister off on Wisconsin Avenue. Secret Service would not let non-authorized people get any closer.

Agreed, don't think any others closed for Bush Sr.'s funeral in 2018.

I think Landon will close as there are many Jimmy Carter supporters at that school

That he is. Makes Elon look downright warm and fuzzy.

Why, so they can properly mourn?

Landon won’t close. It’s not close enough to be affected by the security and traffic concerns.

Our high school likely won't, but they have a very, very good virtual classroom that it will go on as regular from home and not be canceled.

But I think it was someone who had been a cabinet member or something, not a former president. I would think Carter’s funeral will be a much bigger deal and would not be surprised if the Cathedral schools all closed.


Probably Nixon (d. 1995). I was working part-time at NCS when Ford died (2006) and nobody told me that school was closed for the day.
