We are three members of the Manchester Township community who have a vested interest in the health and future of our school district.
"Putting kids first" represents a commitment and non-partisan approach that prioritizes the well-being, needs, and interests of children and students above all else. Our slogan embodies a commitment to fostering an educational environment that ensures children's growth, development, and success, both academically and personally. It is a guiding principle that informs policies, practices, and actions aimed at providing the best possible educational experience for every child.
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.
