(Hadley Cottingham/Now Habersham)

The Habersham County Board of Education is scheduled to meet for their regular monthly meeting on Monday amid the county’s discussions of ESPLOST 6, which will be on the ballot this May.

The BOE will award the Peach State Credit Union’s “Extra Mile” and “Service Above Self” awards for school system teachers and staff that go above and beyond for students. They will also present their monthly school attendance trophies.

The board is scheduled to approve personnel recommendations as retirement announcements come in, which typically arrive as the county approaches the spring according to Superintendent Matthew Cooper.

At the Board of Education’s Thursday work session, the board and superintendent discussed the upcoming ESPLOST, and will likely continue their conversation as they move through their “community education and outreach” phase of their ESPLOST schedule.
