There won't be school on the Monday following June 19 in Massachusetts this school year.
Apparently, students and staff will get the day off — even if school is in session — since Juneteenth became a statewide holiday this past July. Now, the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education has updated its school calendars to reflect the day's new status, as MassLive.com reports.
Susan Collins, a Maine Republican who is running for re-election in the U.S. Senate this November, received an endorsement from Joe Lieberman, a former Democratic U.S. senator from Connecticut. Lieberman was Al Gore's running mate in the 2000 presidential election.
Lieberman's endorsement comes from a commercial paid for by the Republican Jewish Coalition Victory Fund.
