Habersham County Schools will remain closed for students and staff on Wednesday, January 28, 2026, due to ongoing hazardous road conditions across the county.
Superintendent Patrick Franklin said school officials have identified numerous icy side roads, fallen trees, and low-hanging power lines, creating unsafe travel conditions for student drivers and school buses.
District leaders will reevaluate road conditions on Wednesday to determine whether schools can safely reopen on Thursday.
Habersham County Schools officials continue to work closely with county departments and power providers as crews address storm-related damage and restore services throughout the area.
Franklin expressed appreciation for the efforts of first responders and utility crews who have been working through difficult conditions following the winter storm.
Families are encouraged to continue limiting travel when possible and to monitor official school communication channels for updates regarding Thursday’s schedule.
Habersham News will share additional information as it becomes available.
