ATLANTA, Ga. (Atlanta News First/CNN Newsource) — Students in a Georgia school district got a break from the classroom just two days after the school year started.

All Hancock County schools were closed for the week due to a wildlife safety concern, the interim superintendent said.

Officials spotted two snakes outside one school, and one was reportedly seen inside a building, according to the interim superintendent.

No dangerous species have been confirmed. The district is bringing in specialists to inspect all schools as a precaution.

Hancock County schools plan to return to their normal schedule on Aug. 10, pending the results of the inspections.
