MACON, Ga. — The Bibb County Board of Education announced their plans to delay the start of the school year until after the Labor Day holiday scheduled for Monday, September 7.
In a virtual meeting held Tuesday evening, Bibb County Schools Superintendent Curtis Jones said an announcement about whether or not school will be held virtually or in-person will be delayed until two weeks before the start of the school year.
