While all schools in the district will resume classes, Apalachee High School remains closed with no set date for reopening.

Barrow County Superintendent Dr. Dallas LeDuff addressed the community ahead of the reopening.

“You can expect to see additional security staff provided by the Barrow County Sheriff’s Office and Georgia State Patrol at our schools. You can also expect to see additional mental health support provided at every campus from a variety of community partners,” LeDuff said.

On Monday, families were allowed to return to Apalachee High to retrieve their belongings. The Georgia Emergency Management Agency has also opened a community recovery center on 2nd Street, available to families impacted by the tragedy. The center will be open all week from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
