Right now, students and staff at Rosa Taylor Elementary School are trapped after Tuesday afternoon’s storms left damage blocking access in and out of the school.

According to Stephanie Hartley with Bibb County Schools, Macon-Bibb County, Georgia Power, the Bibb Sheriff’s Office, and the Macon-Bibb Fire Department are working to safely clear a path for parents and buses to enter.
