UPPER ARLINGTON, Ohio (WCMH) — A notice posted to the Upper Arlington Schools website says too many staffers are taking Monday off for the solar eclipse, requiring the district to cancel classes.

“Unfortunately, the uniqueness of the circumstances surrounding the eclipse have placed us with staffing challenges that impact our ability to safely supervise all students,” the notice states. “At this point, we decided it was best to make the call now and give families time to arrange for any childcare needs.”

What time does the solar eclipse start in Ohio?

The district was set to have an early dismissal so students and staffers could view the eclipse.

Nearly all other districts in central Ohio are either closed or offering an early dismissal Monday.
