Districts in D.C., Some Suburbs Cancel Classes for Inauguration

Many school districts in the Washington area have canceled classes for Inauguration Day in January, or are considering that step.

Classes are canceled for the District of Columbia public schools and for Virginia schools in Alexandria, Arlington, and Fairfax and Loudoun counties. Prince William County, Va., schools will have a half-day of classes.

In Maryland, Montgomery County schools will remain open, but the Prince George’s County school board was considering an emergency resolution last week to cancel classes.
