White County Schools will remain closed through at least April 10. Superintendent of Schools Dr. Laurie Burkett says the school system will observe the scheduled spring break the week of April 6-10.
White County students will continue learning from home through Friday, April 3.
“The White County School System is grateful for all of the support and cooperation during the recent school closure,” Dr. Burkett says. “Ensuring that our students continue to learn during this time is our main priority.”
White County teachers continue to be available Monday through Friday from 9-11 a.m. and 1-3 p.m. and may be contacted by email or phone during those times.
