History
In October 1973, the Lakehurst district announced that its students would be shifted from Central Regional High School to the new Manchester Township High School.[12] The school opened in September 1976 for nearly 800 students from both Lakehurst and Manchester Township.[13]
The Lakehurst district decided in 2012 against a proposal that would have had borough students attend Jackson Liberty High School as part of a sending / receiving relationship with the Jackson School District. The change in the sending relationship had been considered as a means of reducing the costs associated with paying $14,000 for each of the 150 students attending Manchester High School, as opposed to the $11,300 that would have been paid at Jackson, yielding annual savings of $400,000, less the added cost of transporting students to and from Jackson.[14]
Attendance boundary
The district includes students from the Lakehurst component of Joint Base McGuire–Dix–Lakehurst.[15]
School
Lakehurst Elementary School had an enrollment of 381 students in grades PreK-8 in the 2022–23 school year.[16]
Administration
Core members of the district's administration are:[17][18]
- Loren Fuhring, superintendent
- Joseph Firetto, business administrator and board secretary
Board of education
The district's board of education, composed of five members, sets policy and oversees the fiscal and educational operation of the district through its administration. As a Type II school district, the board's trustees are elected directly by voters to serve three-year terms of office on a staggered basis, with one or two seats up for election each year held (since 2012) as part of the November general election. The board appoints a superintendent to oversee the district's day-to-day operations and a business administrator to supervise the business functions of the district.[19][20][21]
