Because you don't know that congress legally changed the date again back to its original date. And November 11 is Veterans Day and its a Saturday. And the only people off will be the mail people. But next year it is on a Sunday so it will observed on Monday, November 12 and everyone will have off.

I don't know here in NJ my son's school was open yet other schools in our area were closed , good question.
I guess it's because they are limited to so many holidays
off & they used them all up so they have to go to school
on this day.
