Hartford Public Schools would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to our community for supporting the passage of the district's Operating Millage Renewal Proposal!
Your continued support helps ensure that our district can maintain essential funding for the programs, services, and educational opportunities that benefit our students.
We are grateful to be part of a community that values public education and remains committed to the success of our schools.
Every student deserves stability, support, and the opportunity to succeed. 💚
At Hartford Public Schools, we are committed to ensuring that every student has access to the education, resources, and support they need, regardless of their housing situation.
The McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act helps protect the educational rights of students experiencing housing instability, including those staying with others due to financial hardship, living in temporary housing, or lacking a stable nighttime residence.
Throughout November, we encourage our community to raise awareness, show compassion, and help connect families with available resources.
📞 Need assistance? Contact our McKinney-Vento Liaison, Jamin Olds, at 269-621-7005.
