Fairfax County government offices will close, but public schools will remain open tomorrow (Wednesday) for Veterans Day.
Fairfax County Public Schools students will head to class tomorrow as usual after the school board voted this spring to no longer observe Veterans’ Day as a student holiday. Seeking to reduce disruptions to the standard five-day school week, the board also considered Indigenous Peoples’ Day for elimination, but that proposal didn’t pass.
Veterans Day is tomorrow, marking the 104th anniversary of the official end of combat in World War I.
Government offices for Fairfax County, Fairfax City, and the towns of Vienna and Herndon will be closed for the federal holiday, which extends to Fairfax County Public Schools students and the court system.
Veterans Day, honoring all those who have served in the U.S. military forces, is Thursday (Nov. 11).
From banks to post offices and more, expect many services to be not operating to observe the holiday.
