Allentown School District Cancels Classes Ahead of Rally

Milwaukee Public Schools will be closed on Election Day, November 5, to ensure the safety of students and staff while minimizing traffic disruptions during voting hours, as many schools serve as polling locations. Similarly, the Allentown School District has canceled classes on November 4 due to a planned political rally featuring Vice President Kamala Harris, which is expected to cause large crowds and heavy traffic, impacting safety and security. The decision in Allentown was made after consulting with local police, and while classes will not be held, the Administration Center and school offices will remain open until noon. After-school activities and sports are also canceled in Allentown, with classes set to resume on November 6. Both districts aim to protect their school communities during these significant events.
