Henry County school campuses closed for summer

In response to a question asked often in recent weeks, superintendent Mary Elizabeth Davis announced at the May 11 meeting of the Henry County Board of Education that all school campuses would be closed to outside activities this summer. That includes camps, community events and large gatherings that often take place on school grounds.

Additionally, summer learning recovery opportunities will only be made available for students at risk of retention. The locations, times and details to support an in-person model are nearing completion, and high school students will continue to have a virtual opportunity for credit recovery this summer, Davis said.

All other students who may have earned an incomplete for the fourth quarter or for the year will have the opportunity to make up a unit or anything that was missed through the use of extended-day Saturday sessions once the new school year begins.
