The central administrative office is located at 834 Leonardville Road, 2nd Floor, Leonardo, NJ 07737, and the district is governed by an elected Middletown Township Board of Education under New Jersey state education law.

The district's service portfolio extends beyond core academic instruction to include integrated preschool programming (lottery-based at four elementary sites), comprehensive special education services with Child Study Teams and IEP management, gifted and talented programs, Advanced Placement courses, athletics with Hudl-powered live streaming, before- and after-school care via the Champions program, food services operated by Whitsons Culinary Group, bus transportation through multiple contracted vendors, and mental health and anti-bullying support. The technology stack supporting these operations is entirely third-party: Genesis for the Student Information System and parent/student portals, Clever for single sign-on, Frontline Education for HR/absence/applicant tracking and IEP Direct, Google Workspace for Education, Classwize for classroom device management, Qustodio for parental controls on student Chromebooks, Papercut for print management, PaySchools Central for fee/meal payments, and SolarEdge for solar energy monitoring across school buildings.

MTPS is funded through local property taxes, New Jersey state education aid, and federal grants, with annual budget approval by the Board of Education and voter oversight. Revenue figures are not publicly disclosed in the source data. Substitute staffing is outsourced to ESS (Education Staffing Solutions), and the district maintains educator-preparation partnerships with eight universities including Monmouth, Kean, Rider, Georgian Court, Seton Hall, Rutgers, and Fairleigh Dickinson (the last under an MOU through 2028). The district received the ASBO Certificate of Excellence in Financial Reporting for fiscal years ending June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2025. Leadership is currently in transition with Kevin Cullen serving as Interim Superintendent of Schools.
