What Edgewater School District does

Edgewater School District is a public K-6 school district serving the Borough of Edgewater in Bergen County, New Jersey. It operates two elementary schools: George Washington School, which serves preschool through grade 2, and Eleanor Van Gelder Elementary School, which serves grades 3-6. Students from the district attend Leonia High School for grades 9-12 through a sending relationship with the Leonia School District. The district provides core academic instruction aligned to the New Jersey Learning Standards, along with specialized programs including Special Education / Child Study Team services, English as a Second Language (ESL), Title I academic support, Enrichment, and STEM Bridge Building, plus before/aftercare through Right At School and ClubEd NJ.

The district is built on a standard commodity education-technology stack rather than proprietary infrastructure. Core platforms include Genesis (Student Information System and Parent Portal), Google Classroom for digital instruction, ClassLink for single sign-on, LinkIt! for assessment analytics, ParentSquare for family communication, Frontline Education for absence management, Hapara for teacher dashboards, and Apptegy for the district website and mobile applications. Curriculum resources are sourced from HMH (Social Studies), Savvas enVision (Mathematics), and Pearson (Interactive Science), with Follett Destiny powering the library catalogs. Staff-facing systems include SchoolFi (employee portal), Strauss & May (Board of Education policies), Applitrack (hiring), and Freshdesk (technology help desk).

The revenue model is government funding: a combination of local property taxes, state aid, and federal categorical grants (notably Title I), with ancillary fees limited to contracted before/aftercare programs. The district is governed by an elected Board of Education, administered by Superintendent Billy Cunningham, and operates under New Jersey Department of Education oversight, including NJQSAC accountability reviews and participation in state-mandated assessments such as NJSLA and ACCESS. As a public entity, the district is not a commercial enterprise and does not pursue revenue growth in the conventional sense; its 'customers' are resident families within the borough's geographic boundaries.
