District Holidays

The District recognizes certain days of the calendar year as “Holidays.” The implication of district-recognized holidays varies amongst different employee groups.

When a holiday falls on a Saturday, the day is observed on the preceding Friday. When a holiday falls on a Sunday, the day is observed on the following Monday.

Paydays are the 15th and last day of the month. If the 15th or last day of the month falls on a weekend or holiday, then the payday is moved a day earlier.
