Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp announced on Wednesday that he would sign a statewide shelter in place order and move to close all kindergarten and public schools for the rest of the academic year.
Schools in Georgia were initially ordered to close until March 31; the deadline was later extended through April 24, and now Kemp has announced he will sign an executive order on Wednesday to close K-12 public schools through the end of the academic year at the end of May. Classes will be completed through virtual learning.
