All Ohio K-12 schools will remain closed for the rest of 2019-2020 academic year, Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine announced Monday.

“We balanced many issues in arriving at this decision. In the end, I believe this is what is best to protect the health of our children, our teachers, and our administrators,” said DeWine. “While our buildings are closed, we know that students continue to learn in new and innovative ways. I thank all of our teachers, administrators, support staff, and parents for all they have done and will continue to do in these challenging times.”

No decisions have been made regarding whether or not schools will reopen in the fall at this time, the governor’s office said in a statement.
