Bulloch Schools

Bulloch County Schools will remain closed on Friday, as road conditions remain uncertain and may not be safe for bus travel or student drivers, the school district announced in an email Thursday.
“Keeping schools closed on Friday will keep everyone safe and allow conditions to improve over the weekend," Superintendent Charles Wilson said in the release. "I am not comfortable with the risks involved or the issues it may likely cause for everyone if schools reopened.”

The school district plans to return to normal operations on Monday. No decision has been made yet regarding any potential make-up days, but April 7-8 were designated and communicated as possible make-up days with the 2024/2025 calendar and could be activated, if needed.
