Veterans Day is always observed on November 11, regardless of the day of the week on which it falls. When a holiday falls on a non-workday -- Saturday or Sunday -- the holiday usually is observed by the government on Monday (if the holiday falls on Sunday) or Friday (if the holiday falls on Saturday).
A law passed in 1968 changed the national commemoration of Veterans Day to the fourth Monday in October. It soon became apparent, however, that November 11 was a date of historic significance to many Americans. Therefore, in 1978 Congress returned the observance to its traditional date.

Because the teachers and other staff have to have a stat day so some places choose Friday and others choose monday to have off.

If a national holiday falls on a Saturday, you get Friday off. If it falls on a Sunday, you get Monday off.
