These schools will close for the total solar eclipse
At Rocky River City Schools, the school year hasn’t even started and already students can look forward to the untraditional day off.
In a newsletter sent to parents, the superintendent announced Spring Vacation would be extended by an additional day for the once-in-a-lifetime event.
The superintendent explains his reasoning and notes, “the eclipse is projected to pass through Rocky River around 3 p.m. – about the same time schools are getting out – and many public safety organizations have asked schools not to be in session on April 8 to help alleviate traffic and congestion in the area.”
Earlier this summer, students at Amherst Exempted Village Schools wrote nine letters to the board arguing for a day off. According to their district calendar, those students got their wish.
Those districts include:
Waterloo Local Schools
Avon Lake City Schools
Norwalk City Schools
North Olmsted City Schools
Buckeye Central School District
Avon Local School District
Parma City School District
Nordonia Hills City School District
According to the district calendar, Hillsdale will have a remote day of school on April 8, 2024.
