AVON LAKE, Ohio (WOIO) - Redwood Elementary School is closed Monday, according to a social media post by Avon Lake City Schools.

According to the post, the elementary school is closed on Monday due to an ongoing situation in a nearby residential neighborhood.

Avon Lake Police said officers went to a home near the school to serve a domestic violence-related warrant, which was resolved without incident.

A school official said the early morning police situation off-campus caused road closures that impacted traffic to the school.

The road the school is on was closed, according to the official.
