Birmingham Schools have school the day after Halloween, November 1st, which is also a Friday. Almost every kid in the United States will be outside doing Halloween related things, such as trick or treating and whatnot, October 31st. Because of this, lots of kids will miss school Friday or will not fully enjoy their Halloween knowing that they have to go to sleep and get to bed early because they have school the next day, ruining their entire night which only happens once a year. The best idea would be to call off school the next day so the students will not have to worry about getting to bed early and not being able to focus because of a lack of sleep and being able to come back to school Monday all rested up and ready to learn.
