The legal basis for education is vested in the will of the people as expressed in the Constitution of New Hampshire, the statutes* pertaining to education, court interpretation of these laws, the powers implied in them, and the rules and regulations of the State Board of Education.

In New Hampshire, School Districts are political subdivisions of the State and, as such, are considered municipal corporations.

The Contoocook Valley School District is a cooperative school district, established and governed by its Articles of Agreement. The date of operating responsibility as provided in RSA 195:18 (III)(j) is July 1, 1968. The Articles of Agreement may be amended from time to time according to the provisions therein.

The School District has adopted Official Ballot Voting and is subject to the requirements of RSA 40:13.

Board policies are established by the Board, which serves as an agent of the District.

Funds for school operating expenses are approved by a majority of qualified voters present and voting at the annual School District meeting, except that bond issues require approval by 60%.

🥰 HAZEN PARENTS/SENIOR RECOGNITION ADS: This year parents will have the opportunity to purchase yearbook ads that are dedicated to your student. Creating a quality yearbook and keeping students' costs low depends on ad sales. You can order Senior Recognition ads at https://www.jostens.com/apps/store/customer/1120476/Hazen-Union-School/ This link can also be shared with family members who may want to purchase an ad!

👉BUSINESS ADS: Business ads are another way that we help keep costs low. Some of the profits from business ads are also used to purchase yearbooks for some students who cannot afford one. We try to make receiving a yearbook equitable for all. If you or someone you know is interested in purchasing a Business Ad please visit https://www.jostens.com/apps/store/customer/1120476/Hazen-Union-School/

⏰ The deadline for all ads is Thursday, February 6.
