What happens if there's bad weather?
School may close or open on a delayed schedule due to inclement weather. In this case, inclement weather absences will be made up on Staff Development Days. Richmond County Schools students will dismiss at 12:30 PM on Staff Development Days, with staff members leaving at 6:00 PM. For excessive weather related absences, Saturdays may be considered.
Richmond Early College High School's makeup days will follow the Richmond Community College schedule for inclement weather.
