When Do Wilmington's Schools Break for Thanksgiving?

Local students will have a few days off for the Thanksgiving holiday.

Thanksgiving is Thursday, which means food, family, friends and football.

The holiday also means turkey and travel -- an estimated 46.3 million Americans are expected to travel - a 4.2% increase over last year and the highest volume since 2007, according to AAA. With all that going on, and all those Americans moving about, many students will have a few days off from school.

Just how many depends on the district. Wondering when Wilmington’s public schools close for Thanksgiving?
