Ohio Governor Mike DeWine is ordering the state’s K-12 schools to now be closed until at least May 1st.

The governor’s original order, given on March 12th, was to close schools for three weeks to lessen the spread of the coronavirus and then reevaluate.

He says as we get closer to May 1st they will reevaluate the situation again.

The governor has previously stated that schools may have to close for the remainder of the school year.

Findlay City Schools says its teachers will continue to provide Remote Education Options to students.

Any parents with questions about the REO process should contact their child’s teacher or building principal.

Superintendent Ed Kurt says this has been an incredibly challenging time for the entire Findlay City Schools Community.

“I want to thank you for your patience and understanding as we continue to deal with this daily changing unprecedented situation.”
