Government

[edit]

Local government

[edit]

The Borough of Lincoln Park is governed within the Faulkner Act (formally known as the Optional Municipal Charter Law) under the Mayor-Council Plan F system of municipal government, implemented based on the recommendations of a Charter Study Commission as of January 1, 1971.[36] The borough is one of 71 municipalities (of the 564) statewide that use this form of government.[37] The governing body is comprised of the mayor and the seven-member borough council, with three council seats elected at-large and four from wards, with all positions chosen in partisan elections held in even-numbered years as part of the November general election. Each council member is elected to a four-year term on a staggered basis, with the four ward seats up for vote simultaneously and the three at-large seats and the mayoral seat up for election together two years later.[7][38][39]

As of 2023, the Mayor of Lincoln Park is Republican David A. Runfeldt, whose term of office ends on December 31, 2022.[3] Members of the Borough Council are Council President Andrew Seise (R; at-large, 2026), Patrick Antonetti (D; Ward III, 2024), Gary Gemian (R; Ward I, 2024), Joseph Gurkovich (R, Ward IV, 2024; elected to serve an unexpired term), Daniel W. Moeller (R; at-large, 2026), Ellen Ross (R; Ward II, 2024) and Ann Thompson (R; at-large, 2026).[38][40][41][42][43][44]

In October 2021, the borough council appointed Joseph Gurkovich to fill the Ward IV seat expiring in December 2024 that had been held by James A. Wild the previous month after having served more than 30 years in office.[45][46] Gurkovich served on an interim basis until the November 2022 general election, when he was elected to serve the balance of the term of office.[43]

Education

[edit]

The Lincoln Park Public Schools serves students in pre-kindergarten through eighth grade. As of the 2018–19 school year, the district, comprised of two schools, had an enrollment of 914 students and 82.4 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 11.1:1.[79] Schools in the district (with 2018–19 enrollment data from the National Center for Education Statistics[80]) are Lincoln Park Elementary School[81] with 488 students in grades Pre-K–4 and Lincoln Park Middle School[82] with 421 students in grades 5–8.[83][84]

For ninth through twelfth grades, Lincoln Park public school students attend Boonton High School in Boonton as part of a sending/receiving relationship with the Boonton Public Schools, with Lincoln Park students accounting for a majority of students at the high school.[85] As of the 2018–19 school year, the high school had an enrollment of 643 students and 56.3 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 11.4:1.[86] The two districts have sought to sever the more-than-50-year-old relationship, 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.[87] In April 2006, the commissioner of the New Jersey Department of Education rejected the request.[88] As of 2015–2016 there were about 70 students from the borough attending the academy programs of the Morris County Vocational School District, which are the Morris County School of Technology in Denville; The Academy for Mathematics, Science, and Engineering in Rockaway at Morris Hills High School; and the Academy for Law and Public Safety in Butler at Butler High School.[85]

The school has an enrollment of 160 students split between the Lower School (grades 3–8), in Mountain Lakes, and the Upper School (grades 9–12), located in Lincoln Park until the end of the 2012–2013 school year. As of September 2013, the Craig School high school program is located at Boonton High School.[89]

"As described in greater detail in this Court's March 26, 2001 Opinion, the town of Lincoln Park maintains its own elementary school system, but entered into a sending-receiving relationship with the town of Boonton over 50 years ago for education of its high school students at Boonton High School. N.J.S.A. 18A:38-8 provides that Lincoln Park, the sending district, shall have one seat on Boonton's Board of Education, irrespective of the relative populations of the two towns.... Thus, pursuant to the Commissioner's proposal, Lincoln Park would be given three seats on the Boonton Board comprised of twelve total members, representing 25% of the total board vote on issues within the purview of section 8.1."
