CLARKESVILLE, Ga. – The Habersham County Board of Education will take up a series of operational and planning items Thursday as part of its Dec. 11 work session, including a proposed fuel-purchase agreement with the City of Baldwin and an update on the school system’s strategic plan.
The meeting begins at 4:30 p.m. and will spend with a faculties report from district staff David Leenman, Staci Newsome, and Denise Gunn.
One of the key discussion items is a Memorandum of Understanding with the City of Baldwin that would allow the school district to purchase gasoline fuel through the city. Baldwin’s City Council unanimously approved the agreement during its November meeting, clearing the way for the school board to consider joining the partnership. The arrangement is expected to lower fuel costs and streamline purchasing for the district’s transportation fleet.
Board members also will hear a strategic plan progress report and hold a literacy discussion led by Assistant Superintendent Dr. Susan Davis. The update is a part of the system’s ongoing work to track academic performance, align instructional priorities, and monitor key benchmarks.
Additionally, board members will review the proposed 2026-27 school calendar, and hold a discussion of the 2026 board meeting dates.
The board is expected to enter executive session at the end of the meeting to discussion personnel and real estate matters. The work session will be held at the district office in Clarkesville.
