Hendrick Hudson Board of Education: We stand for transparency and unity
As the Hendrick Hudson Central School District Board of Education, we are deeply committed to transparency and responsibility. The Board of Education's role is different from other organizations. Our job is to establish and monitor goals for the district, build and oversee the school district's finances, as well as write and maintain school district policy.
