There are a ton of national holidays in the United states. If schools were closed for all of them, there would be no school. So, school districts pick the most important days to be closed and Columbus day doesn't make the cut fur most schools, especially when it has several negative connotations and a bit of a problematic history. Several states have changed it to indigenous peoples day.
