School starts without major problems
Enrollment may be growing faster than expected
W 080117 SCHOOL FIRST DAY 01
Langston Chapel Middle School PE teacher Akeem Grant helps Kaylan Herrington, 11, and other brand new sixth graders find their way to class on the first day of the 2017-18 school year Tuesday.
The lines of vehicles, with some long waits for parents who accompanied children to school, were expected. But the traffic eventually cleared and school got underway on all 15 campuses without any major mishaps. Although attendance numbers usually don’t stabilize for a week or two, 10,611 students, more than expected this early, were enrolled in the Bulloch County Schools for Tuesday’s start of the 2017-18 term.
