The Opening Ceremonies were on a Saturday afternoon, so everyone had it off, and I can assure you that the Public board didn't get the whole two weeks off.
Certain schools may have shut down because of their proximity to venues or something, but we had to go every day. I remember they would let you leave early if you had tickets to an event, and because of the Chinooks, a lot of events got re-scheduled, so they'd make announcements every day whenever something was cancelled for the day, and all the kids who had tickets to that event would get mad.
