While the Total Solar Eclipse, a once in a lifetime event in Van Zandt County is taking place Monday, April 8, it will be pretty much business as usual for a number of area businesses. Among the businesses that will maintain normal operating hours April 8 will be the Van Zandt County Courthouse, with the exception of the four justice of the peace offices.

The Van Zandt County Sheriff’s Office released the following arrest report from Mar. 26-Apr.

After initially deciding to be one of two school districts in Van Zandt County to remain open Monday, April 8 on Solar Eclipse Day, Grand Saline ISD Superintendent Micah Lewis informed the News through an e-mail April 2 that he has changed his mind and has made the decision to cancel classes that day. In his e-mail to the News, Lewis said that the decision April 1 by Van Zandt County Judge Andy Reese to have ‘Declared a Local State of Disaster’ for VZC in advance of the solar eclipse for the time period of April 5-9 factored in his decision to close school April 8.
