April 1, 2020 -- UPDATED ANNOUNCEMENT:
Dear Parents and Students,
This afternoon, Governor Brian Kemp issued an executive order closing all Georgia schools for the remainder of the 2019-2020 school year. Long County School System will remain closed in compliance with this order.
To the Class of 2020, I want you to know we are heartbroken and dismayed over this abrupt end to your senior year. We are proud of your accomplishments, and we will be working on plans to celebrate and honor you. The Long County Board of Education, your family, friends, and community will join together to celebrate and recognize this monumental milestone in your life.
To all Long County Students and Parents, I know you all have many questions and concerns on how the school year ended and what lies ahead. Rest assured our administration and faculty are working on plans to address standards and material students have missed due to the school closure. Next week is our scheduled Spring Break. I encourage students to take the time to rest, relax, and enjoy their week. We will have more information on distance learning plans in the days ahead.
Sincerely,
David Edwards
Superintendent

FAQ for Long County Schools COVID-19 Response ***Updated 3/16/2020***
Here are some frequently-asked-questions. This post will be updated as new questions arise.
1. Why did the system decide to close effective March 16?
A: Due to the fluid situation and rapidly changing factors, we have elected to close Long County Schools for two weeks, from March 16 through March 27, for all students.
While we believe it is important to keep schools open for learning, we do not want to unnecessarily put our students, staff, and community at risk as our state and community face the uncertainty of the COVID-19 virus.
2. Will students have to make this time up?
A: That is a decision the Georgia Department of Education will have to make. While we do not have a definitive answer at this time, indications point to students NOT having to make up missed school days. As soon as we have a clear answer on this, we will share it with the community.
