Thank you for your patience. It was never a question of if we would be closed, but how long we would be closed. We wanted to have time today to meet with all public safety, law enforcement and emergency management agencies at a called meeting at the Bulloch County Emergency Operations Center before finalizing our decision.

As a result, Bulloch County Schools’ offices and schools will remain closed on Monday and Tuesday, September 30 and October 1.

All extracurricular and athletic activities are also canceled for these days. The school district will reassess conditions and make a decision about the remainder of the week by 3 p.m. on Tuesday.

This decision is due to the majority of the district’s 15 schools being without power, some are without water, and the many hazards that still exist on roadways, including ones that have made the district’s main bus garage inaccessible. Each of the schools has been damaged by the storm, but most of it minor.

“Our thoughts and prayers are with everyone as we move forward in recovery together,” said Superintendent of Schools Charles Wilson. “ Our goal is to ensure that schools are safe and ready to welcome children when we return.”

The school district’s maintenance and school nutrition services teams have been working tirelessly since September 27, the day after the storm, to assess the damage, remove debris from campuses, monitor generators to help maintain food inventories, and relocate food when necessary.

This is the second major storm to affect the school district since the beginning of the school year. Tropical Storm Debby caused historic flooding to Bulloch County the first weekend in August, which closed schools for five days (Aug. 5 to 9). The school district remained under an alternate transportation plan for bus transportation due to 12 roads still being inaccessible to buses.

With guidance from the Georgia Emergency Management Agency, Hurricane Helene forced the school district to announce that schools would be released two hours early on Thursday, September 26, and be closed all day on Friday, September 27. Hurricane Helene proved to be more of a wind event for Bulloch County resulting in a significant number of downed power lines and trees and widespread extended power outages.

We encourage all citizens to look for ways to serve as you are able.

For all students and employees, Bulloch County Schools will have a half-day on Thursday, September 26, and will be closed on Friday, September 27. The Board of Education's work session on Thursday is also canceled.

This decision follows guidance from the Georgia Emergency Management Agency, recommending early dismissal and closure for schools south of Macon.

All schools will dismiss two hours earlier on Thursday for both car and bus riders. Please plan for this adjusted schedule to ensure a smooth dismissal. There will be no after-school activities on Thursday. Look for updates from your school regarding Friday's extracurricular events.

Schools are thankful to have a half day on Thursday to provide students with learning, meals, and peer connections. The safety of children and employees is the top priority.

Please remain alert for further updates from Bulloch County Schools and local media. Schools look forward to welcoming everyone back on Monday.

Thank you for your cooperation. Stay safe.

If you do not know when your school normally dismisses, this will help you know when school will dismiss early on Thursday:

All elementary schools normally dismiss at 2 p.m., so on Thursday, they will dismiss at 12 noon. Portal Elementary normally dismisses at 2:35, so it will dismiss at 12:35.

All middle schools normally dismiss at 3:30 p.m., so on Thursday, they will dismiss at 1:30 p.m.

Portal Middle High School will dismiss at 1 p.m. on Thurs.

Southeast Bulloch High School will dismiss at 1:25 p.m. on Thurs.

Statesboro High School will dismiss at 1 p.m. on Thurs.

Join us on Tuesday for our September evening meeting!
