ELYRIA, Ohio — April 8, 2024 seems like a long way away. But as school leaders start planning their academic calendars for next year, safety officials in Lorain County are advising districts to close on that specific day because of a once-in-a-lifetime event. The Lorain County Office of Emergency Management and Homeland Security is targeting April 8, 2024 due to the arrival of a solar eclipse. The county is expected to be in the path of totality, meaning the Moon's shadow will completely cover the sun.
