While not everyone will have a long weekend, Presidents Day will provide a three-day weekend for Florida students and teachers, along with federal employees.
Since Presidents Day is a federal holiday — although it’s called Washington’s Birthday on federal calendars — anyone who works for the federal government or District of Columbia has the day off.
While it isn’t one of Florida’s nine paid holidays, school districts around the state will be closed on Feb. 19.
