Bossier, Caddo Parish Schools to Close on Election Day

The Bossier Parish School Board has voted to close all Bossier schools and centers on Election Day, Tuesday, November 4, 2014.

This is being done to "ensure student safety, maintain a secure environment and not disrupt the election process." Thirty-one of Bossier Schools' campuses serve as polling precincts.

The board also decided to close all schools and centers in future years whenever an election falls on a school day.

Caddo Schools already planned to close that day, and it's listed on the district's school calendar.
