BEXAR COUNTY, Texas – Numerous school districts throughout the San Antonio area will not have classes on Election Day.

Districts decided to give students Tuesday off because of concerns about school safety and elections.

“The decision to make Election Day a holiday for students and teachers was made with the safety of our students, staff and visitors in mind,” Northeast Independent School District officials said.

Campus sites are typically used as polling places, meaning many people unaffiliated with the school will be on campus at the same time as students when districts decide to continue classes as on a regular school day.
