The Clarke County School District says it is providing summer meals to students who are enrolled in summer school: they’ll get free breakfast and lunch at summer school sites starting today and continuing through the end of the month. The summer school locations include Barrow, Gaines, Stroud, and Oglethorpe Avenue elementary schools and Burney-Harris-Lyons and Hilsman middle schools.
