I was talking about the same thing with some of the people I work with. This, as a day of from school, has been substituted by Election Day as a day off in the area of PA where I live. When I was a kid oh so many years ago, we went to school during Election Day. But, as time went by, this supplanted Veteran's Day. In our area, since they use so many schools as voting locations, security, especially after 9/11 is a priority, so they do not want people voting and kids going to school in the same buildings. So, that is one reason for the switch.
