About the HCS Budget:
The school budget is based on requests from teachers and the administration, reviewed by the Board of Education, and submitted to district voters in may. Senior citizens with low incomes should contact the Town Clerk in Hancock regarding partial exemption from school taxes and for information about the STAR program.
The budget of $10,102,523 was approved by district voters for the 2011-2012 operation and maintenance of the buildings, staff salaries and other costs. The tax rate for this budget varies upon each township's equalization rate. Details of the budget are available from the Superintendent.
The annual budget hearing and the budget vote are held on the third Tuesday in May by law. Please see the calendar for scheduled Board meetings.
