PRIVATE FUNDING/DEVELOPMENT

Public schools across the nation are faced with funding needs that are not
met by public funding. Our school district is developing financial strategies
to meet some of those needs. Working with community individuals,
foundations and corporations, Hudson schools have developed private/
public partnerships to raise nearly $9.5 million in private funding for much
needed school facilities since 2011.
