SAVANNAH, Ga. (WSAV) – Due to heavy rain Thursday followed by some flooding, local schools have made adjustments to their transportation plans for Friday. At least one school district closed.

Here’s a running list:

Bulloch County Schools

Schools remain open and on a normal schedule Friday, though the alternate bus transportation plan is now in effect.

All dirt roads in Bulloch County are closed to bus travel. Some paved roads may also be affected.

Candler County Schools

Bus drivers are reaching out to arrange convenient meeting places for those on dirt roads. If you haven’t heard from your driver, call 912-685-7302.

Oaktree Road is closed, so families are asked to continue using the front entrance for drop-offs and pickups. They’ll be guided to the Pond entrance/pickup from there.

Evans County Charter School System

The school system has made adjustments to bus stops. The list of changes can be found here.

Liberty County School System

This is not weather-related, but late buses are anticipated for Friday afternoon due to a shortage of drivers and high school athletic events.

Long County Schools

Some buses may run a few minutes behind the normal schedule.

Tattnall County Schools

Families are asked to meet the bus at the paved entry on Friday. Students who are unable to get to their bus stop should bring a note to their teacher when they return to school.

Toombs County Schools

Bus drivers are working with families who live on roads impacted by the rain to provide safe travel. Anyone with questions should contact the Toombs County School System Transportation Department.

School is canceled on Friday.
