A notice on the Stephens County School system website states, “Closure will be reassessed on each Thursday for the following week.  However, parents should plan for an extended closure.”
Franklin and Hart County schools are closed at least from March 16-27.
Students and parents should check with their schools’ respective websites and social media channels for additional information.
