Poll: Is your child(ren)'s school a...

polling place? If so, do you worry about their safety with so many adults going in and out of the building on election days? Just curious... Both my kids' schools are and someone was circulating a petition to have the schools closed (but staff there, like professional development or inservice). On election days. What are your thoughts?

Ian's elementary school is a polling place, Kayleigh's school is not.

Louisiana has a Saturday voting day. The ONLY time we ever vote on Tuesday is election day on the even number years (Pres & Congress). Everything else is held on a Saturday.
On Pres elections, the schools are closed. This year, the teachers have an in-service, but in 2004, it was off for everyone.
On the other years, they don't have as great a turn-out, but they do have the polling away from the student body. If it's in the gym, then the gym is off-limits for students that day, or whatever.
My school is not a polling place. But Aly's school is, and we vote at a different school.
