HABERSHAM COUNTY, Ga. — The Habersham County Board of Education will vote Monday night on several items discussed during last week’s work session, including approval of the 2026-27 school calendar and the selection of a board attorney for the coming year.

The board will meet at 6 p.m. Monday, Dec. 15, for its regular meeting. The agenda includes approval of the consent agenda, personnel recommendations, a memorandum of understanding with the City of Baldwin for gasoline fuel purchases, and the sale of surplus property from the school system’s maintenance department.

A key item on the business agenda is adoption of the proposed 2026-27 school system calendar. During the Board’s work session Thursday, board members reviewed the draft calendar alongside discussions on early literacy initiatives and instructional planning, with administrators highlighting how scheduling decisions align with academic priorities.

The board is also scheduled to approve meeting dates for 2026 and January 2027 and to select a board attorney for 2026.

Prior to action items, the board will recognize recipients of the Peach State Federal Credit Union Extra Mile Award and Service Above Self Award and hear a financial report and superintendent’s report.
