What is Lunar New Year? Why are schools closed in New York state?
Schools did not close for Lunar New Year in the first year of the new law because the holiday fell on Saturday, Feb. 10, 2024. The date varies from year to year as the Lunar New Year is based on moon cycles; the holiday typically occurs between the end of January and the end of February.
Rochester area schools, and those around the state, are off on Jan. 29 to celebrate a holiday for the first time.
