Several school districts in East Tennessee will dismiss early on Monday, April 8 due to the solar eclipse.

The eclipse will begin around the time that schools normally dismiss. Some districts, like Knox County Schools, shared that they are dismissing early as the partial solar eclipse is a great learning opportunity.

Some schools will remain on their regular schedule while others have not decided yet if they will alter their schedules. Cumberland County Director of Schools Billy Stepp told CNF “still working on the plan”,

Below is a list of area school districts that will dismiss early or be closed on Monday, April 8.
