[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Election Day is a holiday in Virginia. That is why schools and SACC are closed.[/quote] They are closed because many of the public schools are used as polling locations. It is a huge safety risk - and against the current safety protocol - to have a never ending stream of strangers entering the schools to queue up to vote. If the schools tried to stay open, I'd keep my kid home. No way they could ever manage the crowds coupled with the kids. Plus, at our HS, the cafeteria is the polling locale. Should the kids not eat on those days?[/quote] Then why are they open on other voting days - eg special elections and primaries?[/quote] Special elections are less common, less attended. In VA, the primaries often happen after school lets out.[/quote] We did get a last minute special Election Day off in March one year pre Covid [/quote]
