Clayton County Schools will switch to remote learning Dec. 6 for the runoff race between Georgia Sen. Raphael Warnock and challenger Herschel Walker.

The south metro Atlanta school district says students and staff will work from home for the runoff in an Extended Learning Beyond the Classroom Day.
