Lunar New Year has officially been named a holiday for public schools in New York.
New York Governor Kathy Hochul signed legislation this past Saturday making the designation official. A bill had been passed by New York lawmakers this past June.
Hochul said, “By designating Lunar New Year as an official school holiday, we are taking an important step in recognizing the importance of New York’s AAPI community and the rich diversity that makes New York so great.”
