Dear East Orange School District Parents & Guardians,
The 2024-2025 school year is officially coming to a close. Over the last few days, I proudly watched
684 East Orange students graduate from high school. We wish them much success as they advance their college and career aspirations.
Despite a year that began with financial hardship and difficult decisions, the Board of Education and I
have remained united in our commitment to serving our students and staff. The efforts made to right-
size and prioritize the fiscal needs in our district, created the opportunity for us to introduce and pass a
0% tax increase for our residents. It also enabled us to secure a contract for our dedicated teachers and
administrators—one that recognizes the vital role they play in the success of our schools and the well-being-
being of our students.
