The Cleveland Metropolitan School District announced they will be closed on April 8 when the city goes dark during the solar eclipse.
"This truly is a once-in-a-lifetime event, and we are fortunate to be in the middle of the action," the district said.
According to the district, they decided to close for multiple reasons, including the totality of the eclipse happening when the schools are dismissed for the day, the influx of visitors, and cellular service possibly being disrupted.
The district will be giving all students eclipse glasses.
