The Cinnaminson Township Public Schools is a comprehensive community public school district that serves students in pre-kindergarten through twelfth grade from Cinnaminson Township, in Burlington County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey. [3]

Contents

As of the 2021–22 school year, the district, comprised of five schools, had an enrollment of 2,736 students and 226.1 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 12.1:1. [1]

The Project Challenge program is a program for gifted students from grades 2 through 8 who attend New Albany Elementary School, Eleanor Rush Intermediate School and Cinnaminson Middle School, where students can learn more while having fun. Project Challenge was conceived by Elaine Mendelow, a teacher in the district, who taught it for over 20 years, now being retired from the program. [4]

History

In 1948, during de jure educational segregation in the United States, the district had a school for black children. In 1948 there were two shifts of first grade classes as the black school had a relatively large student count. The white and black schools were located near one another. [5]

The district had been classified by the New Jersey Department of Education as being in District Factor Group "FG", the fourth-highest of eight groupings. District Factor Groups organize districts statewide to allow comparison by common socioeconomic characteristics of the local districts. From lowest socioeconomic status to highest, the categories are A, B, CD, DE, FG, GH, I and J. [6]

Board of education

The district's board of education, comprised of nine 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 three 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. [23] [24] [25]
