As Ed Murrow would say, this school district "may be right" in not observing Memorial Day. So many holidays have become meaningless, excuses for consumerism or paid days off. I firmly believe the total number of Federal holidays should be six: Presidents' Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's, with employers perhaps mandated by law to allow for flexible vacation time in place of former holidays. In a 24-hour-a-day society it makes sense.
