Two verbs together

"On account of XX day the school will remain closed. It will reopen on its usual timings on Monday." "Remain closed" this phrase confuses me. Two main verbs together! Is it possible? I think there is something wrong in this whole note but I can't figure it out.

'closed' is used as an adjective here.

"On account of XX day the school will remain closed. It will reopen at the usual time on Monday."

It's a verb and an adjective. You can shorten the whole thing thus if it's on a sign:

School closed for XX day. Normal schedule resumes Monday.

I believe 'sign' is British English and 'signboard' is American English.

I'm American, and I've never heard anybody call a sign (or anything else) a 'signboard'.
