JAMESTOWN, N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – There will be no Jamestown Public School on Veterans Day November 11th and Friday, November 12th.

“With nearly 100 student-athletes earning opportunities for regional/state competition on Friday, this results in 16 total coaches and a large number of parents on staff who, understandably, want to support their children in these events,” the district says in a release. “When factoring in activities, other approved leaves, an already limited pool of substitute teachers, and a high volume of students planning to attend events to support their classmates, the district believes the best course of action is to cancel school on Friday, November 12.”
