Below are links to summaries of Board meeting minutes, district financial information, and other public records to promote transparency and accountability and to give residents factual information they can use to evaluate any claims or misinformation for themselves. All of this information can also be found in public records.
We are three members of the Manchester Township community with a vested interest in the health and future of our school district.
“Putting Kids First” represents our commitment to a nonpartisan approach that places the well-being, needs, and opportunities of students at the center of Board service. It means supporting an educational environment where every child has the opportunity to grow, achieve, and succeed both academically and personally.
It also means bringing experience, accountability, and responsible leadership to the decisions that affect our schools and community. We believe Board members should understand their role, show up, ask thoughtful questions, make informed decisions, be accountable for those decisions, and responsibly oversee the resources entrusted to the district.
For us, Putting Kids First isn’t just a slogan. It’s a commitment to experienced leadership, accountable service, responsible stewardship, and continued opportunity for every student.
We are grateful to have earned the support of the Manchester Township Education Association (MTEA), along with bipartisan support from both our local Republican and Democratic clubs.
At a time when so much can feel divided, we’re grateful to see people from across our community coming together around a shared commitment to our schools and students.
Thank you to everyone who has placed their trust in us. We truly appreciate your support!
The board of education adopts policies under which the school district operates; oversees the budget; approves the curriculum; hires and evaluates the superintendent; represents the public during contract negotiations; and serves as a communications link between the community and the school system (NJSBA).
The Board of Education operates as a collective body and does not possess individual power or authority. Decisions, policies, and actions taken by the Board are the result of collaborative deliberations and consensus among its members. Any expressions of opinion or influence by individual Board members are made in their personal capacity and do not constitute official positions or decisions of the Board as a whole. The Board's authority lies in its unified actions and decisions, which are undertaken for the betterment of our educational community as a whole.
