COCHRAN, Georgia (41NBC/WMGT) – Bleckley County Schools Superintendent Dr. Steve Smith says the school system has rescheduled graduation ceremonies due to the coronavirus outbreak.

Smith said a letter went out to students and parents announcing a June graduation date.

“We are hopeful the threat from COVID-19 will be behind us by then,” said Smith via email. “But we are making plans for an alternative should that occur.”
