Connect-ED
For the 2007-08 school year, students were asked to provide home telephone numbers for the new ConnectED system. This automated notification system allows automated telephone calls to be placed to parents and staff in the event of an emergency. The system is also connected to the district-wide attendance system. Should a student be absent from school, a call is automatically placed to the telephone number provided.
The Edison school district is run by a nine-member elected Board of Education, which operates independently of the township's municipal government. The Board provides oversight of the district's senior administrators, who in turn directly manage the schools.
