The Habersham County Board of Education is expected to begin moving forward with a search to replace outgoing Habersham Central High School head football coach Michael Pollock. Pollock resigned from his coaching job last Thursday. School Superintendent Matthew Cooper will formally submit Pollock’s resignation letter to the board during a called meeting tomorrow morning, Tuesday, Nov. 18.
Pollock led the HCHS Raider football program for the past two seasons. The team posted an overall losing record of 1-21 during his tenure.
Board of Education member Patsy Taylor says the primary purpose of tomorrow’s meeting is to bring the board up to date on Pollock’s resignation and to get the board’s input on the search for his successor.
Pollock told Now Habersham last week that he is actively pursuing other coaching opportunities. In the meantime, he says he’ll continue to teach at HCHS. Pollock’s teaching contract ends in May. He has left the door open for the possibility of an early exit. Taylor says, “I wish Coach Pollock well as he moves forward.”
Tomorrow’s called Board of Education meeting begins at 7:30 a.m. in the board room at the county school board office located at 132 West Stanford Mill Road in Clarkesville.
The next regularly scheduled meeting of the Habersham County Board of Education is Monday, Dec. 15, at 6 p.m. at Cornelia Elementary School.
