Okay, for all of us that were concerned about the earlier than normal back-to-school start date in Columbia County GA Schools, the date is now August 9, 2010. If you are like me and are in the process of planning out your summer vacation schedule and needing to coordinate who is going where and when they are going, this approved calendar is at least a help. Click the link to see the 2010 – 2011 Columbia County Ga School System calendar. At least we know that the school start date is not Augusta 5, 2010 as was proposed by the school board. Once again, the schools in Columbia County will be closed for the entire week of Thanksgiving. This past year was the first year that the Fall Break was deleted in order to give all of Thanksgiving week off from school. Happy Summer Planning everyone!
