How do you know if county schools are closed on election day?

In the United States, election day is not a federal holiday, so schools are not required to close. However, some counties do choose to close public schools on election day, while others do not. Typically, the County Board of Education will decide whether or not to close schools ahead of time, based on the needs of the county and its residents.

If you want to know if schools will be closed in your county on election day, there are a few things you can do:

1. Check the official website of your county Board of Education. The website should have a list of all school closings, including those for election day.

2. Call your local school district office and speak to a staff member. They will be able to confirm whether or not schools will be closed on election day.

3. Watch the local news for announcements about school closings. The local news station will typically have a list of all school closings, including those for election day, in their news broadcasts.

It is important to note that some counties may only close public schools on election day if there is a general election being held. In other counties, schools may close on election day for all types of elections, including local and state elections. Therefore, it is important to check the specific closing policy for your county before making plans for election day.
