The Hancock County Schools are actively seeking community input on their proposed hemp policy, which is currently under a 30-day comment period. The initiative reflects the Board of Education's desire to engage with stakeholders and adjust the policy based on public feedback. During a meeting on October 15, school officials, including Superintendent Dan Enich, addressed adjustments made to the policy, highlighting the importance of community perspectives in shaping educational frameworks. This ongoing commentary period is crucial for ensuring that the policy aligns with community values and concerns. Stakeholders are encouraged to participate actively to influence the final decision on the hemp policy.

The engagement also underscores Hancock County Schools' commitment to transparency and accountability in their policy-making processes. By fostering open communication, the district aims to cultivate trust and collaboration with the community. This initiative is significant in shaping the future of hemp-related education and policy within the county.
