In an email sent to all school employees by Dr. Bill Truby this morning major news effecting the Lamar County school system has recently been delivered. Governor Perdue called all superintendents to inform them that state education funding, QBE, had been hit by another loss of 3% or roughly $450,000. Additionally, school employees have been mandated to take 3 furlough days. The plan is to move the two planning days in January (the 4th and 5th) to July 30th and 31st. These 2 days will be counted as furlough days. School will then open for students on AUGUST 3. Additionally, the school system will have 1/2 days of school on October 9th and December 18th. Open house for Lamar County schools will remain scheduled for Wednesday, July. 29, from 3-6 p.m
