Will public schools close on Tuesday, January 2, for Gerald Ford's funeral?

In response to current answers:
1. Not all schools are on holiday break that day. Most schools in my area start back January 2.
2. The question is not aiming to profiteer from the death of a historical figure (thanks to the woman who implies that I'm IN school and should learn some history). I am simply a teacher trying to figure out if I need to adjust my lesson plans.

Most are already closed anyway.

It depends on the state or locality. Some schools will resume on January 2, regardless. Some are on Christmas break through this week. Some schools might actually call off on Jan. 2 as a form of respect--although few public schools would have that forethought, anyhow.

I live in NJ and work for Ft.Dix and McGuire Air Force Base
elementary schools and I heard that they will not open tomorrow
but I can't get a hold of anyone. I guess I have to get up early.
And for the person who said to learn some history, you should think before you talk. My father was in the Army for 20 years and in 2 wars. I know my history.

I live in Maine, and my kids are supposed to go back to school on January 2nd. I have not heard that school is being cancelled tomorrow, but that is what I'm trying to find out now. I work for the post office and WE are closed tomorrow with no regular mail delivery.

No, they will not. Although he was a president, it would probably be against school board policy to be closed for a non-holiday day. We have several president's that have passed...we don't celebrate each and every single one of these days.

I think schools might have been closed for JFK funeral, but I cannot remember any others. Should be, he was a good man
