ROCHESTER, N.Y. — Public school students in New York State have a new holiday to look forward to.
New York Governor Kathy Hochul just signed a bill declaring the Lunar New Year a school holiday. All public schools will be required to close for the Asian Lunar New Year — which lands on February 10 in 2024.
It’s the most important holiday in China, and is widely celebrated in South Korea, Vietnam, and other countries with big Chinese populations.
