- Palm Beach County schools will be closed on Monday, January 19, for Martin Luther King, Jr. Day.
Students, teachers and staff in the Palm Beach County School District are looking forward to a three-day weekend, as the district will be closed on Monday, Jan. 19, because of the federal holiday honoring the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr.
A series of events throughout the county will be held in honor of the late civil rights leader, including the MLK Coordinating Committee’s annual scholarship breakfast at the Palm Beach County Convention Center. Proceeds from the breakfast, which is supported by the Black Chamber of Commerce of the Palm Beaches, go toward scholarships for local students and grants to community groups.
Following Martin Luther King Day, district students will also have a day off on Wednesday, Feb. 18.
When’s spring break in Palm Beach County schools?
Spring break for district students begins on Monday, March 16, and runs through the rest of that week, with students getting an additional day off on Monday, March 23.
That means no school for students from Monday, March 16 through Monday, March 23. And students will be off for a spring holiday on Friday, April 3.
Graduation ceremonies scheduled
