POMPTON LAKES BOARD OF EDUCATION

What POMPTON LAKES BOARD OF EDUCATION does

Pompton Lakes Board of Education, doing business as the Pompton Lakes School District, is a public K-12 school district located at 237 Van Avenue, Pompton Lakes, New Jersey, in Passaic County. The district serves over 1,700 students across four schools: two elementary schools (Lenox for residents north of Hamburg Turnpike and Lincoln for residents south), one middle school (Lakeside), and one high school (Pompton Lakes High School). The district also maintains a formal sending-receiving relationship with the Borough of Riverdale, whose high school students attend Pompton Lakes High School. It is a government entity under oversight of the New Jersey Department of Education and is not investable as a private equity, venture, or M&A target.

The district operates as a 1:1 technology district (K-12), issuing every student a Google Account and using Google Classroom as the primary web-based learning service. OnCourse Connect functions as the student information system for grades 6-12 and as the online enrollment platform. Instructional technology includes Amplify DIBELS 8 for twice-yearly K-3 literacy screening, the UFLI Toolbox for grades 1-5, and iReady Diagnostics for grades 3-5, all feeding the district's multi-tiered system of supports (NJTSS). Universal Design for Learning (UDL) principles underpin curriculum, and the high school uses Hobsons Naviance for college and career planning, integrating Common App and scholarship search. Other platforms include Nutrislice for digital cafeteria menus and Digital Sports/Hudl for athletic scheduling and livestreaming.

Revenue is derived entirely from public sources: local property taxes from Pompton Lakes residents, New Jersey state educational aid, and federal programs including Title I, Title III (ESL/ELL), ESEA, and USDA Child Nutrition Programs. Education is free for district residents; no tuition is charged. The district supplements instructional services through strategic channel partnerships: the Pequannock Boys and Girls Club provides after care at Lakeside, while the Northern Region Educational Services Commission operates the Pompton Lakes Day Care for before/after care at the elementary schools. Programs include Gifted and Talented enrichment, a High-Intensity ESL program with an NJDOE bilingual waiver for Spanish-speaking multilingual learners, Individualized Student Learning Opportunities (ISLOs) covering dual enrollment, senior internships, work-based learning, and CTE programs, plus comprehensive athletics. The district is led by Superintendent-adjacent supervisors covering curriculum (Dr. Jayne Tanis), ELA/World Languages (Dr. Stephen Tarsitano), STEM (Dr. Caitlin Thomas), guidance (Katie Miceli), and a school counseling department serving K-12.
