The Schley County School system must engage in timely and meaningful consultation with representatives of private schools and with parents about the provision of special education and related services for parentally placed private school children attending private schools within the school system’s jurisdictions. This would include parents of students in a homeschool setting.
Schley County Schools will hold a Proportionate Share Consultation meeting to carry out this process on Tuesday, October 29th at 2:00PM. The meeting will be held at the Schley County Board of Education office, located at 161 Perry Drive, Ellaville, GA 31806. If you have any questions, please contact the Schley County Schools Special Education Department at 229-937-2405.
Schley County Schools has a duty to locate, evaluate and identify any child residing in the district who are suspected of, or have a disability or developmental delay.

Due to the deteriorating weather conditions on Thursday and the severe weather expected early Friday morning, Schley County Schools will be closed on Thursday and Friday, September 26 and 27th.

SCHEDULED SAFETY DRILL
This morning the Schley County School District will be conducting a pre-planned Lockdown Drill. This drill is required by state law to be conducted annually for all schools in the State of Georgia. We also conduct this drill to practice and prepare our staff, students and local emergency responders to appropriately respond in the event of an armed intruder on our campus.
This drill will take approximately 30 minutes to complete. If you attempt to visit the school during the drill you will not be able to enter until the drill is completed. We appreciate your support and assistance in providing for the safety and security of our students and staff.
As part of our commitment to safety and security preparedness, our students and staff will practice various drills throughout the year. This will help ensure that our students are able to react quickly in the case of an actual emergency. HB 147 requires that schools conduct an intruder alert drill prior to October 1. Schley County will hold its drill Thursday, September 5th. Our goal will be to communicate with students so they can be familiar with what to do in an emergency situation. Schley County First Responders and Emergency Management personnel will also participate in order for them to be prepared, as well. Practicing various drills is a critical step in ensuring our students are prepared to react quickly and are practiced and comfortable with emergency procedures.
Free & Reduced carryover date is September 16, 2024. Students will eat on SY 23-24 status until September 16, 2024, or until a new Free & Reduced application has been processed for SY 24-25.
Schley County Elementary and Schley County Middle High School have been awarded the Ready Georgia Seal of Preparedness in its pilot year. Their applications were reviewed by experts at the Georgia Department of Education (GaDOE) and the Georgia Emergency Management and Homeland Security Agency (GEMA/HS). They were found to meet the requirements for this distinction. Congratulations to both schools and Officer Wall for their effort towards achieving school safety best practices!
