Maywood Board of Education

What Maywood Board of Education does

Maywood Board of Education is a public K-8 school district operating under the laws of the State of New Jersey, headquartered at 452 Maywood Avenue in the Borough of Maywood, Bergen County, NJ 07607. The district serves school-age children of Maywood residents across two campuses: Memorial School (Kindergarten through Grade 3, 764 Grant Avenue) and Maywood Avenue School (Grades 4 through Grade 8, 452 Maywood Avenue). Headcount stands at approximately 103 faculty and staff across academic, special services, custodial, administrative, transportation, health office, and paraprofessional functions spanning 29 role categories. The district is governed by a publicly elected nine-member Board of Education led by President Kevin Taylor, with Superintendent Michael Jordan serving concurrently as Superintendent and Maywood Avenue School Principal, and Jennifer Pfohl, CPA, as School Business Administrator. Special education and related services (Child Study Team, speech/language, OT, PT, I&RS/504, IEP development, paraprofessional support) are delivered in-district for children ages 3-21 under IDEA, reducing reliance on out-of-district placements.

The district operates an integrated third-party technology stack rather than any proprietary platform. The public-facing website (maywoodschools.org) is powered by Finalsite CMS with on-page multilingual translation via Weglot (English, Spanish, Russian, Ukrainian, Turkish, Tamil). Student records, grades, attendance, and open registration flow through the Genesis Student Information System at genesis.c2.genesisedu.net/maywood and parents.c2.genesisedu.net/maywood. Parent-facing transactions route through RevTrak (webstore) and PayForIt/PaySchools Central, lunch menus are published via FDMealPlanner, the BOE policy database is hosted by Strauss Esmay, and departmental microsites (Curriculum & Instruction, Technology Help Center, I&RS/504, Health Office, individual teacher pages) sit on Google Sites. The website targets WCAG 2.0 Level AA accessibility conformance. There is no public or partner-facing API and no in-house development capability.

Revenue is generated almost entirely through local property tax appropriations and New Jersey state aid, with the operating envelope set through the statutorily mandated annual Advertised Budget process and public hearing under P.L. 195, Chapter 231 (NJ Open Public Meetings Act). Secondary revenue streams are immaterial to the topline: parent fee-based webstore purchases via RevTrak, the federally subsidized Free and Reduced Lunch program administered by Accounts Payable coordinator Carol Vasquez, and small RFP-driven vendor service contracts covering transportation, food service, computer/data, plumbing, building cleaning, and vehicle maintenance for a half-year period beginning 7/1/26. The district's customer base is defined by compulsory attendance within the Borough of Maywood's catchment, with no competing public K-8 provider and no revenue diversification beyond the local property tax base. The marketing motion is community-led and event-driven, centered on the Finalsite-powered site, a weekly District Update PDF newsletter, Twitter/X (@MAYWOODSCHOOLS) and YouTube channels, and cross-promotion with nine local civic and youth partners.
