But the system's 46,000 students won't be able to spend their free time in the district's libraries — those are closed too, for staff development.

Library spokesman George Williams tells The Washington Post that the timing is a "coincidence."

He says libraries also closed last year on the first Friday of December and that he hadn't known schools would also be closed.
