"Connecticut Schools to Dismiss Early for Solar Eclipse"

Several school districts in Connecticut, including Seymour and Oxford, have announced early dismissals on the day of the solar eclipse due to safety concerns. The decision aims to protect students and staff from potential eye injury risks associated with viewing the eclipse without specialized equipment. All after school activities, athletic practices, and games during the eclipse period have been canceled, and the early dismissals provide an opportunity for students and staff to experience the eclipse with their families under safe conditions.
