UPDATE: C.A. Gray to reopen Wednesday

Published 4:57 pm Tuesday, August 17, 2021

The Colquitt County School System confirmed Tuesday afternoon that C.A. Gray Junior High School will resume normal operations on Wednesday.

“While this is not a school-related incident,” the school system’s notice to parents said, “we understand that you may be concerned for your child’s safety as parents/guardians. There will be additional law enforcement presence on campus tomorrow to address any concerns, provide support and facilitate a safe return to campus.”

The Observer emailed Jamy Steinberg, special agent in charge of the GBI’s Thomasville office, early Tuesday afternoon to ask if there was anything new to report in the case. Steinberg responded about 3:25 p.m.: “Not at this time.”
