Livingston Kids Get Extra Day Off School In May Due To Lack Of Snow

LIVINGSTON, NJ — There wasn't much snow for New Jersey kids to enjoy this winter, but Livingston kids get an extra day that they can use to play in the sand.

Since the public school district didn't use its three snow days this year, kids will have the Friday before Memorial Day off, making it a four day weekend, the school board decided at their meeting on April 18.

The day, May 26, appears on the newly updated Livingston Public Schools 2022-23 calendar here.

(It's not just Livingston kids who are lucky. Recently, the Cranford Public Schools gave kids three extra days off because they didn't use their snow days, including the Friday and Tuesday after Memorial Day weekend.)

Livingston Superintendent Matthew Block proclaimed the new day off "a day off for students and staff so we can enjoy a lovely four-day Memorial Day Weekend wherever we may be," TAPinto noted.
