While most California schools observed Jan. 2 as the New Year's holiday, schools in the Riverside Unified School District had students back in classrooms.
While the annual Rose Parade was taking place Monday in Pasadena, students in Riverside were heading back to school and some people weren't too happy about that.
Gretchen Fisher is a retired teacher who'd worked in Riverside Unified School District and she said in her almost 25 years of teaching, she doesn't remember ever being in school on an observed holiday and assumes this was an oversight. Riverside Unified School District said they approved this year's calendar four years ago and decided to observe the New Year's holiday on Dec. 30. Some staff said they're fine with it and are willing to do whatever they need to for their students.
