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. In times of disunity, it is also our job to lead. That is what we are doing now. We are not only board members but also parents and community members — our children attend these schools, and we share the same concerns and hopes for the school district.
It’s essential to note our commitment to transparency:
