Chatham County School Calendar, Board Office & Parent Help
In Savannah and Chatham County, the official local school board is called the Board of Public Education for the City of Savannah and the County of Chatham. It governs the Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, commonly shortened to SCCPSS.
This guide puts the school calendar, Board meetings, Board office contacts, registration, school zones, bus help, records, jobs and parent services in one place. Chatham County has several district locations in use during the Central Office renovation, so the address you need depends on the task.
Chatham County Board of Education quick facts
The Chatham County school-board search usually means SCCPSS and its Board of Public Education. The Board has nine members: eight elected from geographic districts and one president elected countywide. Board members serve four-year staggered terms.
Office-location warning: 208 Bull Street remains the published Board contact address, but the district’s Central Office renovation has moved departments to temporary sites for the 2026–27 school year. Call the office handling your task before visiting.
Savannah-Chatham 2026–27 school calendar
The official SCCPSS Calendar page links the 2026–27 District Printable Calendar and also maintains a live calendar with district, Board, athletics and other event categories. The district approved the 2026–27 calendar as a 180-day academic schedule.
For long-range family planning, use the printable academic calendar. For something happening this week, use the live district calendar because Board meetings, athletics and school events can be updated separately.
Printable school-year calendar
Use this when planning vacations, childcare, long-term appointments or the full academic year.
Live district calendar
Use this for current district dates, grading periods, school holidays, Board meetings and updated event listings.
Local planning tip: Savannah-area school calendars account for local scheduling realities as well as federal holidays. Always check the district’s current calendar before booking travel around spring events or major community dates.
Chatham County Board office, district office and meeting location are not the same place
This is one of the most important details on the page. A search for the “Chatham County Board of Education office” can surface several legitimate SCCPSS locations because Central Office renovation has temporarily shifted departments.
Board contact address
208 Bull Street
Savannah, GA 31401
Board Office phone: 912-395-5534
Use this as the published Board contact address, but call before visiting.
District hosting location
190 Technology Circle
Savannah, GA 31407
Main switchboard: 912-395-5600
The current SCCPSS website footer lists this district location during the facilities transition.
Board meeting venue
Whitney Administrative Complex
2 Laura Avenue, Savannah
Current Board notices state that meetings are held here unless otherwise advertised.
Do not rely on the address alone: SCCPSS reported that Central Office renovation caused department relocations that remain in place for the 2026–27 school year. Registration, HR, transportation and other departments have their own current locations.
Next Savannah-Chatham Board of Public Education meetings
The current Board calendar shows separate Informal and Regular Sessions. SCCPSS states that meetings are held at Whitney Administrative Complex, and the exact schedule should be checked before attending because the Board may amend its yearly calendar.
| Date | Session | Time | Location |
|---|---|---|---|
| Oct. 7, 2026 | Informal Session | 10:30 a.m. | Whitney Administrative Complex, Bldg. G, 2 Laura Avenue |
| Oct. 7, 2026 | Regular Session | 2:00 p.m. | Whitney Administrative Complex, Bldg. G, 2 Laura Avenue |
| Nov. 4, 2026 | Informal Session | 10:30 a.m. | Whitney Administrative Complex, Bldg. G, 2 Laura Avenue |
| Nov. 4, 2026 | Regular Session | 2:00 p.m. | Whitney Administrative Complex, Bldg. G, 2 Laura Avenue |
| Dec. 9, 2026 | Informal Session | 10:30 a.m. | Whitney Administrative Complex, Bldg. G, 2 Laura Avenue |
| Dec. 9, 2026 | Regular Session | 2:00 p.m. | Whitney Administrative Complex, Bldg. G, 2 Laura Avenue |
Informal vs. Regular: these are separate sessions. The Board page says Informal Sessions associated with 2:00 p.m. meetings are scheduled before the Regular Session, with an Executive Session following the informal portion unless otherwise advertised.
How to speak at a Savannah-Chatham school board meeting
SCCPSS provides a public-comment period during every regular monthly Board meeting. Residents may sign up in advance, or use the Board’s Public Comment Form at the meeting if they have not registered beforehand.
Check the Regular Meeting
Public comment is tied to the regular monthly Board meeting, so verify the date and scheduled start time first.
Sign up online when possible
The official Request to Speak page links the advance public-participation signup.
If you did not pre-register, arrive early
SCCPSS says same-day speakers must sign in no later than 30 minutes before the scheduled meeting start.
Plan for about three minutes
The Board lists three minutes as the general public-comment limit, although the presiding officer may establish a different limit with Board approval.
Do not plan to play a presentation or video
The Board says digital media such as PowerPoint presentations and videos are not permitted for playback during public comment.
Student privacy: use a private district or school process for individual student records, disability information, discipline, health or family matters. A public Board comment becomes part of a public meeting setting.
Savannah-Chatham Board of Public Education members
The Board is made up of a countywide president and eight geographic district representatives. District lines align with Chatham County Commission boundaries.
| Board position | Member | Current role shown by SCCPSS |
|---|---|---|
| President | Roger Moss | Countywide Board President |
| District 1 | Denise R. Grabowski | Board member |
| District 2 | Mary Snowden | Board member |
| District 3 | Cornelia H. Hall | Vice President Pro Tempore |

| District 5 | Paul E. Smith | Board member |
| District 6 | Dr. David Bringman | Board member |
| District 7 | Stephanie Campbell | Board member |
| District 8 | Dr. Tonia Howard-Hall | Board member |
Election-cycle check: Board membership and officer roles can change. President Roger Moss’s current official profile lists a term ending December 31, 2026, so use the live Board Members page for any 2027 correspondence.
How to register a student in SCCPSS for 2026–27
SCCPSS uses a two-step K–12 registration process for new students and most students transferring within the district. Kindergarten students must register, while normal grade-level moves from elementary to middle or middle to high school do not use the same transfer process.
Confirm the assigned school
If you are unsure which school serves your address, use the district’s Find My School tool and enter the home address and grade level.
Gather required documents first
Prepare the certified birth certificate, current proof of address and parent or guardian government-issued ID before starting the online form.
Complete the online registration
The district’s 2026–27 registration system is available online and supports English and Spanish.
Upload supporting records
Additional records such as immunization and health forms should be uploaded according to the district’s document requirements.
Use in-person help if needed
Walk-in assistance is available at the Student & Family Service Center, 400 East Broad Street, Savannah, Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
Required at the start
Certified birth certificate
Proof of address dated within the past 30 days
Parent/guardian government ID
Health documentation
Georgia Form 3231 immunization certificate must be supplied within 30 days of enrollment.
Georgia Form 3300 vision, hearing, dental and nutrition certificate must be supplied within 120 days.
Proof-of-address trap: SCCPSS says items such as cable bills, phone bills, bank statements, pay stubs, voter-registration cards, DMV documents and handwritten leases are not accepted as proof of address.
Student & Family Service Center: 400 East Broad Street, Savannah, GA 31401

Chatham County school bus routes and transportation help
SCCPSS publishes school bus stops through InfoFinder I and warns families that route information can change during the first several weeks of school because of enrollment changes and routing adjustments.
Bilingual phone help
912-395-5591 or 912-395-6009
The district lists both numbers for bilingual assistance.
Here Comes the Bus: SCCPSS uses the Here Comes the Bus app so families using district transportation can monitor a bus’s location and receive route notifications.
Different bus request: the district says a child needs school-administrator approval to ride a different bus, and the change must be coordinated with the assigned Field Supervisor.
2026–27 school bell times are school-specific
Do not assume every Savannah-Chatham school starts at the same time. SCCPSS publishes separate approved bell times for elementary, K–8, middle, high, charter and alternative schools.
Many elementary schools
Many elementary campuses are listed at 9:15 a.m.–4:00 p.m., with bus arrival around 8:55 a.m.
Some schools differ
For example, the current table lists Bloomingdale and Pooler Elementary at 8:40 a.m.–3:40 p.m.. Always check the individual school row.
Finding the right Savannah-Chatham school
SCCPSS serves all of Chatham County and includes elementary schools, K–8 schools, middle schools, high schools, charter schools, alternative learning centers and an e-learning academy. The district’s current Human Resources page describes the system as serving more than 35,000 students in 60 neighborhood and charter schools.
Assigned neighborhood school
Use Find My School with the student’s address and grade level before registration.
Board district
A school Board district is not the same thing as a student attendance zone. Board districts align with Chatham County Commission boundaries.
2026–27 temporary locations
Several schools and departments have temporary or updated locations because of long-range facility projects. Verify the current 2026–27 Locations Guide before visiting.
Open records, transcripts and student files use different SCCPSS routes
The Board website links an Open Records Request for public district records. Student transcripts, diplomas and education records have separate records-management routes and should not be treated as ordinary public records.
Open public records
Use the SCCPSS Open Records Request route for qualifying public district records and Board-related public documents.
Student records and transcripts
Records Management handles student records, transcripts and diplomas. The district phone directory lists 912-395-5710.
Privacy rule: do not include student medical information, disability records, discipline details, Social Security numbers, login credentials or other private education records in a public Board request or public-comment submission.
SCCPSS jobs and Human Resources
Talent & Human Resources handles career opportunities, benefits, certification, employment verification, salary schedules, work schedules and teacher recruitment. Its current office is at the Port Wentworth Administrative Annex rather than the historic Bull Street Central Office.
SCCPSS phone numbers families often need
| Department | Phone | Use it for |

Chatham County school search problems and the fastest fix
“I went to the wrong office.”
Check the department first. Board contact, district hosting, registration, HR and transportation are currently associated with different locations.
“I found 208 Bull Street and 190 Technology Circle.”
Both appear on official SCCPSS pages for different purposes during the Central Office renovation. Call the responsible department before traveling.
“I need the next Board meeting.”
Use the Board Calendar. Do not assume the regular meeting starts when the informal session starts.
“I want to speak at the meeting.”
Sign up online when possible. Same-day sign-in must occur no later than 30 minutes before the scheduled Regular Meeting.
“My bus stop changed.”
Check InfoFinder I again. SCCPSS warns that route information can change during the first weeks of school.
“My proof of address was rejected.”
Review the district’s accepted-document list. Phone bills, cable bills, bank statements and several other common documents are specifically excluded.
“I need a transcript.”
Use Records Management, not the public Open Records route.
“I don’t know my Board district.”
Use the Board’s Find My School District resource. Board-representation districts follow Chatham County Commission boundary lines.

The extra location check matters in Savannah right now because SCCPSS is operating through a Central Office renovation and several departments have moved. A quick call before an in-person visit can save a trip to the wrong building.
Independent information guide: BoardofEducations.org is not SCCPSS, the Board of Public Education, Chatham County government or the Georgia Department of Education. Current official SCCPSS notices control whenever a meeting, calendar, address, form, school boundary or transportation detail changes.
