County and municipal governments and schools around South Jersey generally are closing to observe the state and federal holiday of Juneteenth, but the closings are not universal.
Closings also will occur across a range of days, not only on the historical date of June 19. In addition, the holiday comes after many schools have completed their regular academic years.
