The guide will be published on our website (www.clarke.k12.ga.us) and each individual school website, sent to families via email and text through our mass notification system, and shared across our social media platforms (@ClarkeCoSchools).
Families: The new school year is fast approaching and our Transportation Department is getting ready! Is your student new to CCSD and in need of bus transportation this year? Have you moved to a different address? Or did your student not ride the bus last year but needs to this year? If so, please complete this short form at bit.ly/ccsdbusform as soon as possible.
Please complete one form per student. If your student is a returning bus rider and you have not moved, you do not have to complete the form.
As a reminder, you can go to www.clarke.k12.ga.us/busroutes and download the Edulog app for more information on your child's bus. For more information from CCSD Transportation, please call 706-548-6971.

NEWS: At its meeting last night, the Clarke County Board of Education approved the appointment of Dr. Annie Turman as Principal of @bhlmiddleschool, effective July 1. Dr. Turman, who is entering her 20th year in education, has been with BHL for 10 years and has been one of the school’s assistant principals since 2021. She first joined CCSD and BHL in 2014 as a seventh-grade English teacher and was named the school’s Teacher of the Year for the 2017-18 academic year. She then became an instructional coach for English and social studies teachers in grades 6-8 in 2018, a position she held until her promotion to assistant principal.
“I am honored and grateful for this opportunity and am committed to engaging with students, faculty, staff, families, and community partners to support our students in making academic gains,” said Dr. Turman. “I further commit to develop a strong climate and culture in which students engage in stimulating learning experiences that support their success. I pledge to support the growth and well-being of the whole child by employing wisdom in using resources available to me. As we launch into a new school year, I look forward to collaborations that will develop and progress made as a result.”
“Dr. Turman is a highly effective, data-driven instructional leader who has demonstrated a commitment to and enthusiasm for improving student learning and has earned the reputation as a role model for both students and her colleagues,” said CCSD Superintendent Dr. Robbie Hooker. “She knows the BHL community very well, and I am confident that she will uphold and strengthen the positive school culture and high expectations for academic excellence that were in place under Dr. Clark’s leadership and in which Dr. Turman played a pivotal role.”
Please join us in congratulating Dr. Turman!
