Overview
- The presidency issued a decree Wednesday directing non‑essential federal offices in Mexico City to implement telework and suspending school activities for June 11 to ease mobility for the World Cup opening.
- Key federal bodies adjusted operations: the Chamber of Deputies suspended activities, the Supreme Court cancelled its plenary session, and the National Autonomous University of Mexico announced a pause in on‑campus activities for June 11.
- At least nine state governments formally suspended classes for June 11, but the federal education calendar maintained June 12 as a normal school day and individual schools may independently extend closures, so parents should confirm with local authorities.
- Essential public services such as health care, emergency response, security, migration and transportation are excluded from the suspension and the decree does not legally require private companies to close but urges them to adopt telework for non‑essential administrative tasks.
- Officials say the measures are meant to reduce traffic and protect public safety during the inauguration; the school year still ends July 15 with teacher workshops on July 16–17 and vacations starting July 18, which frames how local decisions may be reconciled with the national calendar.
