This bill amends section 1001.42 of the Florida Statutes to require K-12 school districts to observe Veterans' Day as a school holiday. The specific legal language added states that each school district shall observe Veterans' Day, as defined in section 110.117(1)(f), as a school holiday. This change emphasizes the importance of recognizing Veterans' Day within the school calendar.

The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2026, allowing school districts time to adjust their calendars accordingly. By mandating the observance of Veterans' Day, the legislation aims to honor and acknowledge the contributions of veterans within the educational environment.
