The Board of Education establishes policies and adopts regulations for the operation of the District's schools. Its five members serve without pay and are elected by the qualified voters of the district for a three-year term. Responsibility for administering board policy is vested in the Superintendent.

 

The Board typically meets at 7 p.m. on the second and fourth Mondays of each month in the board room of the Hancock Central School District. All district residents are invited to attend these educational and business meetings and to participate in discussions.

 

The Board meets in Executive Session to discuss personnel matters, labor negotiations and other matters that are confidential, as defined by the Open Meeting Law of the State of New York. All Executive Sessions are closed to the public and no official action may be taken unless permitted by law. Executive Sessions may only be held by resolution at a regularly scheduled and advertised open meeting.
