Former and converted schools

The four elementary schools, John Adams Elementary School, Arthur M. Judd Elementary School, Livingston Park Elementary School, and Parsons Elementary School, were all redistricted the summer before the 2008-2009 scholastic year to adjust to the growing population of North Brunswick Township.

On December 13, 2016, a referendum was held to build a new middle school (called North Brunswick Township Middle School) on vacant land at Route 130 and Renaissance Boulevard North, which was passed by voters (1,807 in favor and 1,648 against). [17] Ground was broken in September 2017 with construction expected to be completed in time for the 2020-21 school year. [18] The new middle school will only house 7th and 8th grade students, instead of 6th through 8th.

As a result, Linwood Middle School, which housed grades 6-8, become a 5-6 school (as the district's elementary schools were also overcrowded) and a wing of the school became the Early Childhood Center and the Board of Education office

The prior Early Childhood Center, which was located in nearby Milltown in a building the district has leased, would no longer be used by North Brunswick Schools. The board of education office was located in the former Maple Meade School, which will be sold and likely demolished after the offices are moved out and into Linwood School. [19]

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. [21] [22] [23]
