Cobb County School District officials have not heard that any of its school have had issues related to the tornado conditions passing through the metro Atlanta area.
Individual schools are making decisions about how to deal with the storm, said Donna Lowry, school district spokeswoman.
"Nobody has contacted me, so they must be OK," she said.
