Yes, There's School on Veterans Day in Pinellas County
The national holiday is Monday, Nov. 12, this year, but Pinellas County's public schools are in session.
As people across America recognize men and women who have served in the armed forces, students in Dunedin's public schools will be in the classroom.
All Pinellas County Public Schools are open Monday, Nov. 12, the national observance of the holiday. Most government offices in Pinellas are closed.
Pinellas' public school students won’t have to wait long for some time off, though. Schools will be closed the week of Nov 19-23, for two days of professional development for teachers and for Thanksgiving break, according to the school district’s calendar.

Nothing new, unfortunately. I went to Dunedin Junior HIgh and Dunedin High. Retired now, I started teaching in 1979. I don't remember the students EVER having Veteran's Day off.
BTW, it was a Junior High when I attended. I'm really not a fan of the term middle school.

Sorry...The proper term is Veterans' Day.
