Colquitt County schools to remain closed on Monday

MOULTRIE, Ga. — The Colquitt County School System announced just before noon that schools will be closed again on Monday.

“Colquitt County is still experiencing widespread power outages and damages,” School Superintendent Doug Howell said in an email announcement. “As of 11:30 a.m. Friday, there were still seven schools without power. A decision concerning Tuesday and Wednesday will be made over the weekend. The safety and security of our students and families will always come first.”

Howell’s email did not say which schools are still without power, and a school system official reached at home shortly afterwards did not have that information.

Also late Friday morning, Southern Regional Technical College announced that classes would start back on all its campuses except in Bainbridge on Monday.

Classes and midterm exams will go on as scheduled, the school said in a Facebook post.

Classes will resume at the Bainbridge location when power has been restored there, the post said.

The post included a note to online students: “All of our open campuses have computers with internet access that students may use free of charge. If you are without power, and unable to make it to a campus location, please contact your instructor(s) through your SRTC email.”

Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College is on fall break Monday and Tuesday, so classes are expected to resume on Wednesday.
