School calendars set, school bus crashes

The Barrow County School Board, meeting this week in Winder, signs off on a new school year calendar: the 2019-2020 school year will begin on August 1. School bells will ring even earlier in Commerce, where the Commerce City School Board has set July 26 as its opening day. 

The Hall County School District says there were no students hurt in Thursday's school bus accident: no students were on the bus that was hit by a car on the Pearl Nix Parkway in Gainesville. Two people in the car were taken to Northeast Georgia Medical Center in Gainesville with what were described as non life-threatening injuries. The Georgia State Patrol is investigating the accident.
