Background:
In 2021, the Legislature passed House Bill (HB) 1016 making Juneteenth a state legal holiday in Washington. This change took effect in June 2022. Policy 5410 Holidays has been updated to include this holiday. Other changes to the policy include presenting the holidays in a listed format and removing language around additional dates that are considered holidays for district employees only. These additional dates are outlined in various collective bargaining agreements with the District. These contract provisions still remain in effect, but are removed from the policy due to not being considered state legal holidays.
