I grew up in Mass... They also get a week in April, the week containing
April 19 (Patriots Day, observed on Monday). The February week is always
the week containing President's Day. I like the schedule. It gives a
week off in prime Ski season, and a week off in the comfortable portion
of New England's spring (Easter time tends to be a bit too cold, at

Down here in NC, most schools usually get the week after Easter (one
recent year, the break did not line up with Easter).
Some private schools (both here and in Mass.) get spring break always in
March (not aligned to Easter).
