After the latest information from the Bulloch County Emergency Management Agency, Superintendent Charles Wilson has decided to close all schools and offices for Monday.
        Wilson said the decision was made after considering several factors.
        "Road conditions will inhibit safe school bus travel," he said. "Although, we expect power to be restored to all of our schools today, there are more than 20,000 residents without electricity. Bulloch County Schools also made some of our buses available to Georgia Power in order to shuttle crews to and from their equipment to their temporary shelter facilities. Some of our campuses are also still in use as staging areas for responders. We could also not ensure proper meal service due to the loss of food at our schools."
        When the schools will resume regular schedules has not been decided, Wilson said.
        "We will communicate on a day-by-day basis on our operations," he said. "Please listen for specific information from your school as to how this may affect athletics and extracurricular activities."
        Bulloch Academy also announced there will be no classes Monday.

GSU, OTC closed
        Georgia Southern University and Ogeechee Technical College will remain closed Monday as the area continues to recover from Hurricane Matthew.
        Georgia Southern students should continue to check GeorgiaSouthern.edu/Alert for updates, said university Communications Director Jennifer Wise.
        Ogeechee Tech plans to resume normal operations Tuesday. But the extra day Monday will allow city and county response teams time to clear roads and ensure they are safe for students and OTC employees to travel, said Vice President for College Advancement Barry Turner.
