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.

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.
