Paulding Schools Make Decision On Closing

DALLAS, GA — Paulding County public schools will close early on Friday due to the possibility of hazardous weather conditions in metro Atlanta.

While the area was experiencing a mix of rain and snow, but not freezing temperatures, Friday morning, school officials said they made the decision to release students early "out of an abundance of caution due to the rapidly changing conditions."
