ATLANTA, GA — Schools in Fulton County and Atlanta will close Wednesday, a day after a southern winter storm brought freezing temperatures and snow to Georgia.

Fulton County schools will shift to a remote learning day. School officials on Tuesday said the change was made in response to winter conditions and "potentially unsafe travel conditions in parts of Fulton County."

Staff members will remotely work, and teachers will give instructions to students, school officials said.

Extracurricular activities have been canceled. This includes after-school and evening meetings, extended day programs and after-school care, tutorials, clubs, athletic practices and games, school officials said.

The community meetings for board members Sara Gillespie (District 1), Katie Gregory (District 3) and Kristin McCabe (District 5) will be remotely held. The Fulton County School System will share virtual links on its website.

"Fulton County Schools is committed to the safety and well-being of our students, staff and families. Thank you for your continued support and partnership in our students’ education," school officials said in a news release.
