Numerous school districts throughout the San Antonio area won’t have classes on Election Day.

The districts decided to give Tuesday off for students, as there was some concern regarding school safety and elections. Several school campuses in Bexar County will serve as voting centers on Election Day.

“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,” North East Independent School District officials said.

List of school districts not having classes on Election Day:

• Northside ISD: Student holiday and staff development day.
• North East ISD: Student holiday and staff development day.
• Judson ISD: Student holiday and staff development day.
• East Central ISD: Staff and student holiday.
• Southwest ISD: Student holiday and staff development day.
• IDEA Public Schools: District vacations.

Campuses are typically used as polling locations, meaning that many people unaffiliated with the school are on campus at the same time as students if districts decide to carry on with classes like a regular school day.
