- that education is a growth process by which people learn to think and act more effectively;
- that we must provide a safe, pleasant environment for learning;
- that respect for the policies of a democratic government is desirable;
- that students should acquire an understanding of and a respect for the traditions, customs, and heritage of the country;
- that students should be encouraged to use leisure time wisely;
- that students should be taught that education in a broadened sense, can become a lifelong pursuit for everyone.
The Long Hill Township Board of Education encourages a close relationship among students, teachers, administrators, and the community. We seek to prepare our students to function in a rapidly changing world with an awareness of the past, an understanding of the present and preparation for the future.
The Board's principle responsibility is to establish policy. The Board is also responsible for the selection of the superintendent, the initial appointment or reappointment of personnel; the approval of the curriculum, textbooks, and supporting materials; the process of negotiations with those organizations that represent the professional and non-professional staff; the formulation of the budget; creation of the school calendar; the maintenance of the existing facilities; and research and planning of new facilities.
