TIFTON — Tift County Schools will be out again Thursday, Aug. 31st.

“After consulting with our EMA, Georgia Power and Colquitt EMC, there are approximately 17,000 customers in Tift County without power at this time, this includes one of our campuses,” said Tift County Schools in a statement posted on social media. “We encourage everyone to use good judgment and remain safe when driving. Please keep the counties south of us in your thoughts as they saw a greater impact from the storm than we did.”

The school system said it still has not made a decision about Friday, Sept. 1.
