Trustees have hired the New Jersey School Boards Association to help with the search. The ideal candidate will set his or her sights on making the school the best it can be and increasing its appeal to local families. We want someone to come and roll up their sleeves and work with the high school s administrators, Yodice said.
The board is also conducting a survey of parents asking them what they want for their children, in a bid to retain families. The district had 1,400 students from Woodland Park, Little Falls and Totowa in 2012. It now has fewer than 1,200.
Cardillo said that when she took over in 2015 she listened to what parents wanted for their children and began to work on it.

N.J. district offering full-day kindergarten, but you’ll need a lottery ticket and $7K to get in
Updated Feb 15, 2021;
A Morris County school district is reviving its tuition-based, full-day kindergarten program in September after it stalled for a year due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The School District of the Chathams is doling out by lottery up to 60 slots with a tuition rate of $7,000 per student, according its website.
Full-day kindergarten debuted in the K-12 district in the 2019-20 school year, also on a tuition basis, Schools Superintendent Michael LaSusa said. Prorated refunds were provided to parents last year after all New Jersey schools closed in March 2020, for the remainder of the school year, due to the pandemic.
