Dougherty County schools to re-open Monday

Press Release courtesy of the Dougherty County School System

ALBANY – Dougherty County Schools will resume normal operations on Monday, October 22, Superintendent Kenneth Dyer has announced.

The district has been closed to students since Hurricane Michael came ashore as a Category 4 storm on October 10. While schools suffered only minor damage, widespread power outages throughout Dougherty County prevented schools from reopening sooner.

“In terms of power restoration, the recovery has been incredible,” Superintendent Kenneth Dyer said. “Initially, we anticipated power being out for possibly weeks. Here we are a week after the storm and, with a few exceptions, power has largely been restored. This is a testament to the preparation and response of our city and county leaders, utility workers and first responders as well as neighbors-helping-neighbors to ramp-up recovery efforts.”

As students return, the district will work through its Department of Student Support Services and with partner organizations to provide mental/emotional support to those students who may suffer from issues related to the storm.

Again, we thank our first responders, linemen and other disaster recovery personnel for their hard work and dedication as they helped to restore our community.

In the unlikely event schools won’t be ready to open by Monday, the district will notify parents through its website, mobile app, social and traditional media and a mass call-out.

Hurricane Michael Follow-Up: Workers Offered Tetanus Shots

Press Release courtesy of the Southwest Georgia Public Health District

ALBANY – Southwest Health District officials are encouraging Hurricane Michael recovery workers to get vaccinated against tetanus if they haven’t had a recent booster shot. Adults need a booster shot every 10 years to stay protected.
“The vaccine is available at all of our open county health departments,” said Southwest Health District Health Director Dr. Charles Ruis. “To date, 12 of our 14 health departments are open. Further, our staff has the ability to go out into the field to give shots.”
Tetanus shots given to recovery workers in the field are free, he said. Vaccine given in the health departments is billed to insurance; however, no- and low-cost tetanus vaccine is also available in health departments for eligible patients.
Tetanus is an infection caused by bacteria that usually enters the body through breaks in the skin. Also called “lockjaw” because tetanus often causes a person’s neck and jaw muscles to lock, making it hard to open the mouth or swallow, the disease can be fatal if untreated. Tetanus is not spread person to person.
“Any wound that could be contaminated with tetanus bacteria should be tended to as soon as possible,” Ruis said.
For more information about tetanus vaccinations, contact your local health department.
