"The Stamford Board of Education was recently informed that keeping schools open on Columbus Day and Veterans Day will not be cost neutral as originally anticipated," wrote Kathleen Steinberg, spokesperson for the school district, in an emailed message.
A controversial move to hold school on both Columbus and Veterans Day in Stamford is likely to be reversed because it will cost the district money. The Board of Education is expected to conduct a revote on the school calendar for the next two school years on Tuesday night that would bring both holidays back as days off for students and staff.
