Controversy
District Superintendent Dawn Fidanza resigned in October 2017 after the Office of Fiscal Accountability and Compliance of the New Jersey Department of Education found that she had transferred her daughter and created a new job position without the authorization of the district's board and had covered security cameras to conceal her daughter's actions in the district office. Described by The Record as "one of New Jersey's highest paid school superintendents", Fidanza had been paid an annual salary of $236,000.
