SHAKER HEIGHTS, Ohio — The Shaker Heights School District announced on its Facebook page Tuesday evening that students will not return to in-person classes on Monday.
The district said it made the decision due to Cuyahoga County being upgraded to a Level 3 – Red Alert on the Ohio Public Health Advisory System last week.

School officials will hold a special board of education meeting Wednesday night at 8 p.m. to discuss the decision and the plan to have students return to classrooms. You can watch the meeting via Zoom, but since it’s a work session there will be no public comment and the board won’t be voting on anything.
"We appreciate your continued patience and understanding as we work toward a safe return to onsite instruction for our students and staff," the district said.
