Board of Education

The Hunterdon Central Regional High School Board of Education is comprised of nine elected volunteers from our five sending districts who are committed to working together in a collaborative, cooperative, and respectful manner to create a safe, welcoming, and inclusive environment for all HCRHS students and staff.

Board of Education Conduct & Culture

The diversity of perspectives and experiences among board members reflects the communities they serve. Board members are encouraged to bring these unique perspectives to the work of the Board while working collaboratively with fellow board members toward our common goals.

Hunterdon Central's Board of Education commits to the following principles of conduct as the basic foundation of Board culture:

  • Board members uphold all District Policies and Regulations and comply with existing State and federal laws at all times.

  • Board members are bound by the Code of Ethics for School Board Members in discharging their duties and conduct themselves with the highest level of ethics and integrity at all times.

  • Board members communicate respectfully with students, staff, the public, and each other at all times.

  • Board members make decisions and support policies that serve the best interests of all students at all times.

The primary function of the Board of Education is to establish policies for the district. Policies must align with applicable state and federal law, administrative code, directives from the State Board of Education, and the New Jersey Department of Education. Policies are approved at public meetings of the Board of Education after two readings at two separate meetings, and a vote of the full Board.

Board of Education members do not engage in the day-to-day operations of the school district, make promises of action to community members, or communicate on behalf of the Board except in consultation with the Board President.
