Some parents questioned why Baldwin wasn’t included in renovation plans
Following yesterday’s Board of Education meeting many local parents questioned the board’s decision process behind renovating Woodville and Hazel Grove Elementary Schools.
As of this afternoon, Superintendent Matthew Cooper spoke about the board’s decision to choose the two elementary schools for renovations.
Out of all of the 14 Habersham County Schools “the Woodville and Hazel Grove school buildings have never been renovated,” stated Cooper.

After the meeting some parents questioned as to why the board didn’t plan to remodel the older Baldwin Elementary School. In response, Cooper stated that “Baldwin has actually received some newer renovations over the past few years such as an additional wing and playground”.
In addition to being the only two schools in the county that haven’t been renovated, the board’s decision also was affected by the growth in student population for each school. “Hazel Grove has a growing number of students, especially, and to accommodate the students at both schools there needed to be a number of renovations particularly in the cafeterias,” Cooper says.
Hazel Grove and Woodville have both been established for over 50 years in Mt. Airy and Clarkesville, respectively.
