School officials in Solon said it is unknown when they can reopen Roxbury Elementary School.
The school was closed earlier this week after an environmental issue in the building.

Additional testing identified asbestos in the roof drain and elevated levels in an air sample.
The district said it is isolating the impacted area and is putting together a plan to address the issue.
The school will be closed for an extended period of time.
Parents have been trying to navigate the situation as the new school year has started.
"I was nervous. I didn't really know what was going on," Elizabeth Gore, a parent, said.
Gore said she was surprised about the asbestos, but not by how quickly the district responded.
"I had no doubt that they were going to figure out what to do with the kids, so I wasn't worried about school happening again. Maybe just at a different location," Gore said.
And that's exactly what happened.
The district announced today that starting next week, students will meet at Parkside Church in Chagrin Falls on Monday while testing continues.
This will be the third round of asbestos testing at the school. Officials hope this one finally clarifies earlier conflicting results.
In a letter sent to families, the district said more asbestos may have been found in a roof drain and a hallway.
For Gore, the temporary change is manageable.
"We probably have to leave like 20 minutes earlier just to know where to go. But it's just down the street," Gore said.
The drive between Roxbury and Parkside is typically 12 minutes, but Solon Police Lt. William Vajdich expects heavier traffic near the church.
"It's not a high traffic area, generally speaking, even at school times. But there will be a surge of traffic that that area is not used to seeing," Vajdich said.
Exact plans are still being worked out, but the department said they're ready to adapt.
"Physically moving the student body and the admin staff outside of the city of Solon is a unique situation, but we got it addressed, and we'll be there on Monday," said Vajdich.
According to Gore, the extra drive is worth it.
The district is even offering bus service— something not usually available for families so close to Roxbury.
"I think it's going to be really fun. My kids are excited to see their friends, so it'll be fine. Just a new norm," Gore said.
The district declined an on-camera interview today. Parkside Church initially agreed to talk, but later declined after consulting with the district.
