District overview

Hancock County Schools

Funding structure, how it compares to peers, and where major projects stand.

A small county district that posts only short agendas

Agendas posted for 4 meetings in the past year; no minutes or recordings

Hancock County Schools runs four schools for about 900 students in Sneedville and the surrounding county. A seven-member board, elected by district, meets on the first Thursday of each month at 7 p.m. in the Director of Schools office. Director of Schools Charlotte Mullins runs the district. The district website posts one-page agendas for some meetings but no minutes, budget documents or meeting recordings, so most decisions can only be seen as agenda items.

Teacher contract up for a vote

The November 3, 2026 agenda includes a three-year teacher MOU for 2026-2029.

State funding application

The board is also set to approve the 2027 TISA application and budget amendments on November 3.

Budget approved in June

The 2026-27 budget, board policies and a teacher MOU were on the June 4, 2026 agenda; no figures are posted.

Little posted record

Only four agendas from the past 12 months are online. The district YouTube channel has no recordings from the past year.

Agendas are posted ahead of meetings, including the November 3 meeting, and public comment ('Open Forum') is on every agenda.
