Easter Monday is a big holiday in DC. Fairfax usually gets it off.
I thought it was usually off for kids but a teacher work day in FCPS.

It's all part of the war on God-fearing Christians. Next thing you know, they won't let schools close for two weeks surrounding Christmas Day!

There are more irate posts from other years, too, if you want some commiseration from Easters past.

What's Easter Monday? That doesn't even vaguely sound like a legit holiday.

Be glad you aren't in MD, where it's a mandatory holiday.

FCPS were open last year and this year. Why would they be closed? It is not a holiday. I kind of wish that spring break fell the weekend starting on Easter, I don't get why they have it the week before, but that is how it is.

Because Easter Monday isn't a holiday, nor is it even religious? Good Friday is the religious holiday if they wanted to pick one
