Due to the threat of severe weather for West Central Georgia, the Harris County and Meriwether County School Districts have announced a 2 hour delay for Thursday morning.
In their announcements, the districts say, “With the potential for severe thunderstorms expected tomorrow morning, our priority is to ensure the safety and well-being of our staff and students as they travel to school. Out of an abundance of caution, both school systems will open on a delayed start. Bus routes, school openings, and start times will be shifted two hours later than the regularly scheduled times. For example, a bus normally scheduled to pick up students at 7:00 AM will instead pick up at 9:00 AM.
For Harris County schools, breakfast will not be served, but lunch will be served at the regularly scheduled times. Dismissal times remain unchanged.
In Meriwether County, A grab-and-go breakfast will be available for students upon arrival at school.
No word on any other school changes in our area at this time.
