Storms lead Atlanta schools to call off after-school activities
Atlanta Public Schools canceled all after-school activities Tuesday because of the threat of storms.
The school day otherwise went on as normal Tuesday after a night of storms caused limited damage, including power outages at Bolton Academy in northwestern Atlanta and Coan Middle School in eastern Atlanta.
The 50,000-student school district closed schools on seven days this winter because of snow and cold conditions. One of those missed school days was made up on March 17, which had previously been scheduled as a teacher work day.
