Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use American English Шаблон:Use mdy dates Шаблон:Infobox school district The Elk Township School District is a community public school district that serves students in pre-kindergarten through sixth grade from Elk Township, in Gloucester County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey.[1][2][3]

As of the 2021–22 school year, the district, comprised of one school, had an enrollment of 329 students and 31.6 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 10.4:1.[4]

The district is classified by the New Jersey Department of Education as being in District Factor Group "B", the second lowest of eight groupings. District Factor Groups organize districts statewide to allow comparison by common socioeconomic characteristics of the local districts. From lowest socioeconomic status to highest, the categories are A, B, CD, DE, FG, GH, I, and J.[5]

For seventh through twelfth grades, public school students attend the Delsea Regional School District, which serves students from both Elk Township and Franklin Township.[6] Students from Newfield attend the district as part of a sending/receiving relationship begun in September 2010 after Newfield ended its prior relationship with the Buena Regional School District.[7] Schools in the district (with 2019–20 enrollment data from the National Center for Education Statistics[8]) are Delsea Regional Middle School[9] with 530 students in grades 7 and 8, and Delsea Regional High School[10] with 1,062 students in grades 9–12.[11][12]

History

Aura School was built in 1927 and rededicated in 1949 after a fire the previous year, with the newest addition built in 2002.[13]

The New Jersey Department of Education has considered a vote by the Board of Education of the Franklin Township Public Schools in June 2010 requesting that the district withdraw from the Delsea Regional School District, which would require that the Delsea region be dissolved as about 80% of the regional district's students come from Franklin. With the withdrawal of Franklin Township, the two options to consider were to have Franklin and Elk Townships create a new regional district with Newfield students attending on a send-receive basis, or to have Franklin Township establish its own PreK-12 district which would receive students from both Elk Township and Newfield.[14][15]

School

Aura School had an enrollment of 329 students in grades PreK-6 as of the 2021–22 school year.[16]

  • Kevin Donahue, principal[17]

Administration

Core members of the district's administration are:[18]

  • Piera Gravenor, superintendent[17]
  • Joseph Collins, business administrator and board secretary

Board of education

The district's board of education is comprised of nine members who set policy and oversee 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.[19][20]

Elk Township's Board of Education members include President J. Wilson Hughes Jr., Angelique Stoney-Siplin, Jennifer Wirtz, Danielle Bland, Cheryl Potter, Mary Snively, Courtney Vance, and Wayne Howard.[21]
