Observance of Lincoln Day in 2022
Education Code dictates when holidays are observed by schools, but permits school boards to revise the observance date of a holiday by way of a resolution. In 2022, Lincoln Day falls on Saturday, February 12, which Education Code dictates should therefore be observed the preceding Friday. The Board adopted a resolution to move observance of Lincoln Day to Monday, February 14, to align with the Anaheim Union High School District calendar.
