CLEVELAND — On Monday, schools across the area and throughout the state of Ohio shined a light on the class of 2020, despite the fact that those students will not be coming back to the classrooms this academic year.

Ohio Governor Mike DeWine announced that the state's K-12 schools will remain closed through the remainder of the current school year. Ohio's schools have been closed since March 16 due to concerns regarding the coronavirus (COVID-19).
