Governance – 95%
Operations – 98%

The Piscataway Board of Education also demonstrated a dedication to excellence by obtaining Board Certification through the NJ School Boards Association Member Academy. All of the current Board members volunteered 16 hours of their time going back to the 2023-24 school year to training and professional development in areas including general boardsmanship, governance, school law, labor relations, policy, and leadership.

“This recognition reflects the hard work our Board and Administration put in on a regular basis to assure that our district runs smoothly and effectively,” said Superintendent Dr. Frank Ranelli. “The more effective we are at doing what’s right for the district, the better equipped our teachers and staff are, and that translates into a quality education and supportive school experience for the children of Piscataway.”
