I did a thread over on X about the school closings during the April 8th eclipse.
Texas
Arkansas
Kentucky
Indiana
Ohio
Pennsylvania
New York
All of these states with districts closing are in the path of totality. It’s for the students’ safety don’tchaknow.

School closings also give the students, whatever few there are that are interested, the opportunity to view the eclipse through the appropriate eye protection. There’s also the little trick with a pinhole projector that allows them to see it without actually looking up at it.
Of course, during that short period of totality, you actually can look up at it. That’s a 2-4 minute period depending on where you are. Knowledgable adult supervision recommended.
