School Officers & Teachers 1905-1906
This is a list of Hancock County school officers, directors and teachers for the school year 1905-1906. The number (or name) beside the persons name is the school district number (or name) within the township. The names are spelled as found in the school documents.
The source of this information is from the Center for the History of Rural Iowa Education and Culture, University of Northern Iowa RURAL SCHOOL COLLECTIONS - Rural School Records microfilm collection reference RSC/RSR/041
DUPLICATE NAME ENTRIES
A teachers name may be listed more than once, and in different schools during the school year because the teacher was hired to teach for one term, not a full school year. That is also why there is more than one teacher listed for a school district, there was only one teacher in the school during a term. For most schools there were three terms during the year.
As a general rule the first term started the first part of September and ended about the first of November. The second term started the first of December and ended about the middle of March. The third term started about the middle of April and ended about the first of June. Each school would set their own starting and ending term dates. The school would open for a term only if there were 5 or more students in attendance.
