The Habersham County Board of Education will meet Monday evening to elect its officers for 2026 and take up routine business following a work session held Thursday, Jan. 8, that highlighted technology upgrades and continued enrollment growth across the district.

The meeting is scheduled for 6 p.m. Monday, Jan. 12, at the Habersham County Schools Central Office.

At the start of the meeting, board members are expected to elect a chairperson and vice chairperson for the new year.

During last week’s work session, district administrators outlined recent investments in classroom technology, network infrastructure, and digital learning tools, along with steady increases in student enrollment. Officials also discussed how that growth is affecting staffing needs, facilities, and long-term planning.

Monday’s agenda includes recognitions for recipients of the Peach State Federal Credit Union Extra Mile Award and Service Above Self Award, followed by public comment and reports from district finance staff and the superintendent.

The board is expected to vote on a consent agenda that includes per diem payments for December meetings and field trip requests. Under new business, board members will consider personnel recommendations, the monthly financial report, a bandwidth provider agreement with Habersham Electric Membership Corporation, and the designation of a fiscal agent for Habersham County Family Connection for fiscal year 2027.
