POLK COUNTY, Ga. — Students and teachers in Polk County will report to school two hours later Friday to give them time to safely get there after flooding Thursday afternoon.
The school district said they made this decision after speaking with local Emergency Management Officials who deemed the roads too flooded for drivers to make the commute to school in the dark.
