(KLZA)-- The Falls City Public Schools and Falls City Sacred Heart School will not have school on Monday, August 21st, the day of the Total Solar Eclipse.
In a Wednesday release Superintendent Tim Heckenlively said the decision comes after safety concerns were discussed due to the eclipse, presenting potential dangers to students if viewed without proper eye protection.
Another concern is traffic. There is a possibility of a major influx of visitors to the Falls City area to view the eclipse.
While schools in the district will be closed August 21st, solar eclipse information material will be sent home with every student on August 18, and all students will receive solar viewing glasses as well.
School will resume on Tuesday, August 22nd.
The schools thank your for your understanding.
