Good morning, Alexandria. It’s Veterans Day.

The city honors its 68 Vietnam War heroes at 1 p.m. at Mount Vernon Recreation Center; the ceremony is indoors, runs about an hour, and is open to the public. What’s open and closed today is under Today in Alexandria.

A holiday means a lighter day on the ground but not a quiet one in the news. Both the School Board and City Council had busy Tuesday nights. Below is some of what came out of council, and I’ll have more from both bodies throughout the day.

Here’s what you need to know for Wednesday, Nov. 11.
