The study also found that schools with a larger number of low-income students are less likely to have the day off.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Personal_Experience\"><\/span>Personal Experience<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>As an educator, I have taught in both districts that have the day off and those that do not.
