Newton County Schools has once again earned a clean financial audit with zero findings—for the third consecutive year.

For a district of our size, this is a significant accomplishment and a clear reflection of strong financial practices, careful oversight, and a commitment to responsible stewardship of public funds.

As we continue our budget planning process, this milestone reinforces our focus on using every dollar effectively to support our students, staff, and schools.

2-Hour Delayed Start-Monday, March 16, 2026

Out of an abundance of caution, and in alignment with several of our regional school system counterparts, Newton County Schools will operate on a two-hour delayed start tomorrow, Monday, March 16.

Weather forecasts indicate the potential for severe storms in our area during the early morning hours, including the possibility of strong thunderstorms, damaging winds, and isolated tornadoes. These conditions could impact travel during our normal bus routes and arrival times.

We take seriously the safety of our transportation specialists who are on the roads early each morning, as well as the safety of our students and staff traveling to school.

Please note that this decision does not mean that severe thunderstorms will always result in delayed operations. In this instance, however, several factors including matters of timing and projected severity were considered as part of this decision.

Thank you for your continued support as we work to keep our students and staff safe.

We had the incorrect date printed on the field day shirt reminder. Field day shirt orders are actually due Thursday, the 19th.
