On September 30, 2024, the Edison Board of Education passed a resolution to abolish Policy 5756. In accordance with Board of Education policy, any policy adoption, revision, or abolishment requires two readings and approval by the Board of Education. It cannot be abolished until it is voted on again at a subsequent Board of Education meeting, and therefore, it continues to remain in effect. As Superintendent, I am both committed and required to adhere to all New Jersey state laws regarding anti-discrimination including the New Jersey Law Against Discrimination (NJLAD). I will continue to ensure that all students in Edison Township Public Schools are served fairly and in accordance with the law. We are currently discussing this matter with the Board of Education attorneys, and I will keep the community informed of further developments.

Great job by Mr. Sack who shared the ACES program with @jams_knights Ts so we can all help our JAMazing Ss.

Wednesday, October 2, 2024, is a single session day. See the website for school hours. https://www.edison.k12.nj.us/page/school-hours The district is closed on Thursday and Friday, October 3 and 4.

The Subscription Busing Application for the 2024/2025 school year is now open and will close on Sunday, October 13, 2024, at 11:59 p.m. This is a paid bus, once we receive the application and process it, you will be emailed to say there is a seat available and a fee of $625 will be placed on your parent portal account. Payments will only be accepted online via Community Pass. You will then have 7 days to process the payment or your seat will be forfeited and will go to the next person. This is a non-refundable fee. There is also no discount. If you are deemed to have free lunch (not reduced lunch), the fee will be waived. Registration will be processed on a first-come, first-served basis. A separate registration application must be submitted for each child. In the event that you unenroll your child from the district at any time, you will also forfeit the seat. If you re-enroll within the same school year, you will be placed on the bottom of the waiting list. Please note if there is not a bus in your community, we are not able to add one at this time. Please note the new eligibility guidelines established in October 2023, will continue to apply. Elementary School Eligibility for Subscription (Paid Bus): Students residing 1.0 miles or more from their school. For the free bus, the students have to reside over 2 miles from their school. Middle and High School Eligibility for Subscription (Paid Bus): Students residing 1.25 miles or more from their school. For the free bus, the students have to reside over 2.5 miles from their school. Distance is calculated in accordance with state policy: "Measurement is made by the shortest distance along public roadways or walkways between the entrance to the student's home and the nearest public entrance of the school building. This measurement is for eligibility purposes only and is not necessarily the travel path to or from school." We appreciate your attention to these important details and are committed to providing safe and reliable transportation for your child. Should you have any questions, please submit a helpdesk ticket here. The Edison Township Public Schools’ Transportation Team thanks you for your cooperation.
