All Schools Closed Monday, September 30 Due to Lingering Impact of BioLab Fire in Rockdale County
Over the past several hours, we have been in close contact with Newton County Emergency Management and other supportive agencies to assess the potential impact on our community. Due to the large evacuation area in Rockdale County and the closure of Interstate 20, we’ve been made aware that many of our staff members have been directly affected. Additionally, while we do not yet know how, or to what extent this incident will impact Newton County, out of an abundance of caution for the safety, health, and wellbeing of all students and staff, we have determined that the best course of action is to close all schools tomorrow, Monday, September 30.
Please know that the determination for making up recently missed days of school has not been finalized, but a decision will be made in the near future and that information will be communicated as soon as possible. In the interim, be assured that we will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates as necessary.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. Please stay safe. Have a good evening.
