Northside and North East ISDs have added Nov. 8 to the holiday calendar.
The North East ISD school board voted Monday to make election day a holiday in an effort to prioritize student safety.“Our 8-year-old has already done training for active shooter and for fire drills and all of the other normal things this year,” said NEISD parent Tina Stolhandske.
“Having all those extra people on campus is always a concern for parents and for administrators I know alike,” said parent and NEISD Council of PTAs President Debbie Weissmuller.Both Weissbuller and Stolhandske were thrilled to learn that the NEISD school board voted to approve the holiday on Nov. 8.
“The Texas Election Code requires that public buildings, including schools, be made available for use as a polling place. As a District, we cannot prohibit the use of a school as a voting location,” a press release from NEISD said. “The decision to make Election Day a student and teacher holiday was made with the security and safety of our students, staff and visitors in mind.”
