Lopatcong Township School District

What Lopatcong Township School District does

Lopatcong Township School District is a public K-8 school district governed under New Jersey state law and serving the residents of Lopatcong Township in Warren County, NJ. It operates two schools from a single township footprint: Lopatcong Elementary School (PreK-4, 263 Route 57, Phillipsburg, NJ) and Lopatcong Middle School (5-8, 321 Stonehenge Drive, Phillipsburg, NJ), which also houses the district administrative offices. The district is governed by an elected nine-member Board of Education and is led by an Acting Business Administrator/Board Secretary, with a Superintendent function implied through regular parent forums. Total enrollment is approximately 900+ students.

The district delivers a full K-8 curriculum aligned with NJ Student Learning Standards, spanning ELA, mathematics (Savvas enVision), science (Discovery Education Techbook), social studies, art, music, physical education, health, financial literacy, STEAM, and Spanish language instruction (Rosetta Stone). Its technology architecture is a layered stack of third-party platforms: Google Classroom for learning management, Genesis for student information, Clever for SSO, and supplemental tools (IXL, Khan Academy, Edulastic, Frax, Xtra Math, Follett Destiny, PickUp Patrol, Nutrislice, Frontline, SafeSchools). Supporting services include a Special Services department (IEP management, speech/OT/PT, counseling), a Media Center/Library, and a Healthy Kids Programs-operated Before & Aftercare Program.

The revenue model is public-school funding: local property taxes, NJ state education aid, and federal grants (Title I, IDEA, ESSER), supplemented by the National School Lunch Program (paid meals plus federal free/reduced reimbursement) and recurring before/aftercare fees billed monthly. The Board of Education approves an annual budget and a publicly posted "User-Friendly Budget." Distribution is entirely direct enrollment of resident students, with a recently added NJ School Choice channel for 2026-27 to accept a limited number of out-of-district applicants. The entity is a government body, not an investable company, with no equity, M&A, or external capital structure.
