After careful consideration, Bulloch County Schools will remain closed through Friday, October 4. All extracurricular and athletic activities are canceled for the remainder of the week as well.
Families are asked to stay alert for an update from the school district on Sunday, October 6, at 3 p.m., regarding its plans to reopen on Monday, October 7. The school district will not make a decision about making up any missed days until after schools reopen. Since August 5, the school district has been forced to close 11.5 days due to Tropical Storm Debby and Hurricane Helene.
“We understand that extended school closures are difficult, but safety is our top priority,” said Superintendent of Schools Charles Wilson. “Some schools are without power and water, local roadways remain hazardous, and by remaining closed, we can help reduce the strain on local food, gas, and infrastructure resources.”
Bulloch County Schools’ essential staff is hard at work repairing minor damage to schools, clearing debris, scheduling more extensive repairs that will require a contractor, and repairing multiple technology tools. The school district will also continue to protect its food inventories to ensure it can provide meals to students when schools reopen.
“We thank our employees and the community for their resilience,” Wilson added. “Please stay safe and find ways to help others as you are able.”
