All GCT after school activities, including PLUS, will be canceled for this afternoon.
Due to the increasing chance of freezing rain, GCT will dismiss early today:
PreK carline at 12:50
Kindergarten carline at 1:15
All other buildings’ carlines at 1:30
All buses will be running 1 hour 30 mins early
No after school activities
As always, safety is our top priority.
GCT will need to be dismissed early today. Early dismissal will allow the time needed to be sure all buses return safely ahead of the forecasted weather.
We want to notify our patrons as early as possible so they can make necessary arrangements, therefore, we will be sending out push notifications very soon.
PreK carline will start at 12:50
Kindergarten carline will start at 1:15
All other carlines will start at 1:30
All buses will run 1 hour and 30 minutes early...buses will line up at elementary at 1:28
All after school activities will be canceled
As always, safety is a priority. All faculty/staff can be dismissed after carlines and buses have left campus. At least one administrator will remain in the building until all buses are empty.
Thanks,

Please note that Greene County Tech School District does not allow Valentine deliveries for Students or Faculty.
A Greene County Tech school bus was struck by a vehicle that crossed over into the bus lane this morning in front of GCT Primary school.
There were only minor injuries and parents of those involved have been contacted. Thank you for your patience this morning as we adjusted some carlines on campus.
On Thursday, January 12, 2023, law enforcement notified the Greene County Tech School District of an investigation involving stolen property in the community. During this investigation, they discovered that a GCT Jr. High student brought a handgun to school last Friday with the intent to sell, and money apparently changed hands in this transaction.
The students involved have been removed from campus pending the police and school investigations. It is not believed that the gun was brought with the intent to threaten or harm any student or staff. The District is cooperating with law enforcement and conducting its own internal investigation.
Safety of our students, faculty, and staff is always a top priority.

If you did not receive the push notifications this morning on our TechConnect App, you will need to adjust the notification settings on your phone and the notification settings within the App.
Soft Lockdown has lifted. Suspect has been apprehended. All campuses are back open. Safety is always our number one priority. Thank you for your patience and understanding. The threat did not involve the schools in any way, just the proximity of the incident.
GCT Primary and Main Campus are currently in a soft lockdown due to a police incident on a nearby street. The schools are not involved, but we are doing this for safety precautions. HS is not on lockdown.
Nobody in or out on Main Campus or Primary School until further notice.
