The Barrow County Board of Education voted on and heard about several safety and security enhancements and plans at the September Work Session and October meeting.
Congratulations to Barrow County School System (BCSS) Special Education Director Amy Wadley for being recognized with the Georgia Parent Mentor Partnership (GaPMP) 2024 Phil Pickens Leadership Award.
We wanted to update you on topics related to security discussed at tonight’s Board of Education (BOE) Work Session. These actions are to quickly enhance the safety and security procedures we currently have while we continue to actively research and discuss additional safety measures at our schools.
Today, we welcomed our Apalachee High School students back to begin the phased reopening of the school. 88% of our AHS students returned to classrooms today.
Today, we opened the doors to Apalachee High School for an Open House, giving our students, families, and staff a chance to reconnect and take the first step toward healing and moving ahead together. Tomorrow, AHS will begin the next phase of its gradual reopening plan.
"We need your help. It’s important our students understand that words matter and what they might see as 'funny' or just a prank can hurt and scare people. Those words also have consequences." - BCSS Superintendent & BCSO Sheriff

The way you’ve supported one another speaks to the heart of who we are—resilient, caring, and united. I know many of you are looking for updates regarding returning to Apalachee High School. Please know we are in thoughtful discussion and getting input from parents, teachers, and counselors.
Today we want to express our gratitude and appreciation.
