EUDORA, Kan. (AP) - Students in a northeast Kansas school district will get to watch the eclipse after all.
The Lawrence Journal-World reports that concerns were raised about the safety of the viewing glasses that the Eudora Schools Foundation and Eudora Elementary PTO had purchased months in advance so all district students could watch the eclipse. The district said Friday that the glasses were believed to be counterfeit.
But Eudora Superintendent Steve Splichal released a statement Sunday reporting all the sunglasses had been tested by a certified laboratory professional and found to exceed safety standards for eclipse viewing. The glasses were then individually inspected for defects.
Splichal wrote that two donors also provided more sunglasses from verified sources. The district now has enough sunglasses for all students.
