The district underwent a $23 million expansion and renovation campaign to update facilities and providing new instructional space for its growing enrollment. Renovations at the three elementary schools were completed toward the conclusion of the 2004-05 school year with full occupancy at the opening of the 2005-06 school year in September. At the middle/high school, two large additions went up during the school year. One area houses a state-of-the-art library/media center and six new classrooms, while the other area houses a new gymnasium/fitness center. Renovations that began in the summer of 2005 brought updated science labs to the middle/high school.
Core members of the district's administration are:[12] [13]
The district's board of education, composed 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.[15] [16] [17]
