LAFAYETTE, Ga. (AP) - Schools in Walker County are closing due to an elevated number of absences among students and adults due to sickness.
The Walker County School System is experiencing difficulties finding coverage for their classroom teachers as well as their bus drivers and attendants. Schools will be closed on Thursday and Friday as a result.
WSB-TV (https://2wsb.tv/2knYUNs ) reports officials said the uptick in illnesses has created a supervision concern in their school buildings, as they have taxed the availability of their current substitute teacher list.
The school system says they hope the shutdown will allow for “proper care and wellness for all students and adults.”
