  71. Stoltz, Marsha A. "Here's why Maywood will send its students to Becton instead of Hackensack High School", The Record, March 9, 2020. Accessed April 6, 2020. "Maywood high school students will have four years to phase out of Hackensack High School and into Henry P. Becton Regional High School in East Rutherford. The process will begin in September, when current Maywood eighth-graders will be the first to attend Becton as freshmen, according to a March 7 joint announcement by the superintendents of the two districts.... The two districts signed a seven-year send/receive contract in 2010 with a per-pupil tuition of $13,125 and a 2% yearly increase. In January 2018, Maywood paid Hackensack's school district $14,781 per student, or $3.7 million for 249 students. It rejected a three-year contract proposed by Hackensack of $15,076 per student the first year and a 5% increase the second.... Maywood eventually agreed to a 10-year contract with Becton at $10,500 per student, with a 2% increase for the fifth contract year and a cap of $11,800 by the 10th year. Becton now has students from East Rutherford and Carlstadt."
