Bryan County Schools announced it will close all schools on Thursday, October 10, due to safety concerns associated with Hurricane Milton. With Bryan County currently under a Tropical Storm Warning and a State of Emergency as declared by Governor Brian Kemp, school officials decided that the risks posed by potential high winds, as well as weakened trees and debris from the recent Hurricane Helene, are too great for students and staff to safely attend school.

School-based athletic and extracurricular activities will also be affected, with decisions regarding these activities left to individual schools. Families can expect further communication on these matters directly from their respective schools.
Why It Matters: The early months of the school year have been marked by severe weather in Bryan County, creating an ongoing challenge for school operations and the community. School officials acknowledged that these closures may create inconveniences for families, but emphasized that the safety of students and staff remains their top priority as they continue to monitor the situation closely.
