We, the undersigned concerned parents of children in U-46, respectfully request that school not be in session on election days so long as U-46 schools are polling locations. Our children's welfare is at stake with increased traffic and with strangers having direct access to our children while in the school for election polling. This compromises not only the safety of our children but their education as principals and administrators are focused on the public entering the buildings as opposed to the curriculum. Please cease to have classes on election days and instead schedule an institution day or professional development day for teachers and staff.
Respectfully,
