The Lincoln Park Public Schools is a community public school district that serves students in pre-kindergarten through eighth grade from Lincoln Park, in Morris County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey.
[5] In 2001, the Lincoln Park district sought to sever the more-than-50-year-old sending relationship with Boonton, citing cost savings that could be achieved by both districts and complaints by Lincoln Park that it is granted only one seat on the Boonton Public Schools' Board of Education, less than the number of seats that would be allocated based on the percentage of students of population.
[7] In April 2006, the commissioner of the New Jersey Department of Education rejected the request, citing the negative effects on the Boonton district of the loss of students from Lincoln Park.
From lowest socioeconomic status to highest, the categories are A, B, CD, DE, FG, GH, I and J.
[9] School superintendent Michael Meyer left his position after an unexpected shortfall of $2 million led to a $27 million budget for the upcoming school year that included 20 layoffs.
