About Us
The Leonia Board of Education is comprised of ten elected members (nine Leonia members and one Edgewater Representative), the Superintendent of Schools, the Board Secretary/Business Administrator, and two student members. Board Meetings typically begin at 7:00 pm on the second and fourth Tuesday of each month. The time and location of meetings are subject to change and will be posted accordingly on the meeting agenda. The meeting agenda is posted on our website the Friday before each regularly scheduled Board meeting. Meeting dates can be found on the Board of Education web page under Agenda/Minutes; meeting videos and the Board of Education's calendar can be found here as well.
The Leonia Board of Education functions by committee to review the Superintendent's recommendations on the operation of the district, development of the budget, long-range capital and facilities planning, curriculum development, policy, and more. The Leonia Board of Education currently has five Standing Committees: Finance & Planning, Education, Policy, Safety & Security, and Community Relations. The committees consist of four board members, the board president, the Superintendent, and other district administrators. At the regular Board of Education meetings, the Board takes action by voting on what has been formally moved out of the committees.
