Readington Board of Education

What Readington Board of Education does

Readington Board of Education is the elected governing body for Readington Township Public Schools, a New Jersey public K-8 school district headquartered at 52 Readington Road, Whitehouse Station, NJ, operating four schools: Readington Middle School (grades 5-8), Holland Brook School, Whitehouse School, and Three Bridges School (elementary). The district serves Readington Township families under a residency-based enrollment model and is staffed by 101-250 employees. It delivers a full public education program including preschool, gifted and talented K-8, English language services (ESL), and special education (Child Study Team, Speech/Language, PRISE), supported by food services, transportation, health services, and a district-wide 1:1 Chromebook and iPad initiative built on Google Apps for Education.

The operating technology stack is composed of third-party SaaS products rather than proprietary systems: Genesis Parent Portal for student information, PaySchools Central for meal/fee payments, Nutrislice for menu publishing, AESOP for substitute teacher management, Incident IQ (TechRequest) for IT support ticketing, and Finalsite for the district website. As a government entity under New Jersey state education law, the district is governed by an elected Board of Education and administered by Superintendent Dr. Jonathan Hart; it is subject to NJ Department of Education oversight, including QSAC (Quality Single Accountability Continuum) monitoring.

The district's revenue model is non-commercial public funding, sourced from local property taxes (the primary stream), NJ state education aid, federal grants including Title I and USDA National School Lunch Program participation, paid school meals, and one-time voter-approved bond referendums for capital projects. The 2025 bond referendum passed, providing capital for facility expansion and improvement. Recent recognition includes Readington Middle School becoming the first NJ School of Distinction (2024), 10-year Sustainable Jersey for Schools recognition, the NAMM Best Communities for Music Education designation, and Superintendent Dr. Jonathan Hart being named Hunterdon County Superintendent of the Year.
