I've heard in some areas, certain religious groups object to Halloween festivities, parties, costumes in schools. Perhaps they're closing to avoid the controversy? If parents keep their kids home, the schools lose funding so they might as well close for the day.

@Kachina624 They would not close the schools; they would just ban Halloween activities.

No costumes, no party, no "horribles parade" for example.

Not that I am aware of. That has always been the day for school parties as I remember. Growing up, one of the "perks" of going to a parochial school was getting the day after Halloween off for "All Saints Day".

Same here. I went to parochial schools for 12 years. And 11-1, All Saints Day was always a holiday because going to Mass was mandatory. The best part was that the local county fair gave away fair tickets to the schools and the parochial schools got our tickets on 11/1.

No Catholic holy day is on October 31.

All Saints Day is on November 1.

I doubt the school would be closed for Halloween but maybe it's a teacher work day or something like that.

The elementary schools where I worked in California are closed the day after Halloween. You would be surprised how many parents keep their kids out 'till all hours on Halloween and along with all the sugar intake, the following day was always the scariest of the year for the teachers, lol.

The schools where I substitute teach here in North Carolina all seem to be open.
