Hancock County voters get new school-board districts

The law redraws Hancock County’s four school-board districts, numbered 1–4, using Appendix A’s HancockCCSB-2025 map and 2020 Census boundaries. Voters elect members from these districts, while all voters in the school district elect the chairperson. Unassigned areas go to the adjoining district with the fewest people, based on the 2020 Census. Areas assigned to a district they do not adjoin follow the same rule. Current members and vacancy replacements keep serving until their terms end and successors qualify, representing the newly drawn districts.
