From Bulloch County Schools:
“Hurricane Dorian – Tuesday, Sept. 3, 5 p.m. Update:
All of our schools will be closed on Wednesday, Sept. 4, for employees and students. All after school sports and extra-curricular activities are cancelled as well. The school district will continue to monitor Hurricane Dorian and make a decision about Thursday operations by 7 p.m. on Wednesday.
We will make up any and all missed days on November 25 and 26, and April 6 and 7, in that order depending on how many days are missed. As a courtesy for planning these potential make-up days have been communicated to employees and parents since January 2019, and again at the beginning of this school year.
Our priority is the safety of our students. While Hurricane Dorian is a difficult storm to predict, our decision to close on Wednesday was reached after thorough input from Bulloch County Emergency Management and the Bulloch County Sheriff’s Office. Please remain alert and monitor the school district’s communications for the latest and most accurate information.”
