As you can see by your map the eye of the hurricane is passing through downtown Brecksville soon thus school closings for Tuesday are officially being considered.

Thanks, Ray. I checked with the district and—as of 6 p.m. on Monday—school is not canceled for Tuesday. I'll definitely post something on the site if that changes.

Thanks Rachel, was not implying they were closed, just that the automated phone message that was sent out this afternoon stated it would be considered as needed. Seems the hype of the storm in the media has people calling the schools asking if they will be closed Tuesday.
