Mount Vernon sits geographically between Yonkers and the Bronx. While the calendars share many federal holidays, Mount Vernon operates independently. Many Mount Vernon families have members working or attending school in NYC, so coordination awareness is valuable.
Mount Vernon is classified as a city school district, one of the few in Westchester County. It has its own Board of Education and operates independently from both NYC DOE and the surrounding suburban districts.
