Georgetown hearing draws opponents to school holiday change

GEORGETOWN – After a hearing that drew about a dozen community members, school officials on Monday took no action on a proposal that would have given them the option to have students attend school on Veterans Day.

The hearing was held to get public reaction on a proposal to request that the state board of education allow the district to hold regular school days on the next five Veterans Days.
