Solon CSD staff and students are doing a great job implementing all preventative measures recommended by the Department of Public Health. We will continue to follow the lead and guidance of the Department of Public Health.
There has NOT been any student or staff member that has tested positive or displayed symptoms of the virus.

When in schools today, I was asked by several about the cold front coming later today and possible impact on school tomorrow. The National Weather Service has issued a windchill Advisory, which predicts the "real-feel" could drop to -25 degrees. In the past we've delayed or cancelled school for Windchill Warnings, but never for Advisories. A Warning is issued when temperatures fall below -30 degrees.
The National Weather Service is NOT predicting temps to fall below -30 degrees so I anticipate our schedule will run normal tomorrow. There is a risk of slick roads and limited visibility in the morning, depending on the amount of snow we receive tonight so we will monitor that closely. In the case of a delay, we will not release early. Based on the National Weather Service, it appears we will be able to run a normal schedule tomorrow.
