Loudon County Schools Opts To Close School For August 21 Eclipse
 Loudon County Schools had originally opted to stay open for the total solar eclipse, but due to safety concerns the school decided all schools will close on August 21.

The school said teachers will send home eclipse glasses for students. The school system, like many other districts in East Tennessee decided to use an “inclement weather,” day to close school.
