Patch Poll: No School Day After Halloween?

Benicia schools are closed the day after Halloween. Should the tradition continue?

Many years ago teachers and administrators at Benicia schools noticed that the day after Halloween, a lot of kids were absent from school. Those who did show up were often a bit unruly and often went home sick.

It was decided to make the day after Halloween a non-instructional day so the district wouldn't risk the loss of state attendance funding.
