Dear ESCNJ Community,
On behalf of the Central Office Leadership Team and the Educational Services Commission of New Jersey, it is my sincere pleasure to welcome everyone back for the 2025-2026 schoolyear. Each new year brings fresh opportunities, and I am excited to see the incredible work that will unfold across our schools and programs.
Over the summer, the ESCNJ team has been hard at work enhancing our facilities to ensure a safe and supportive environment for our students and staff. Some of the key projects completed include:
- Repaving of parking lots across several campuses to improve safety and accessibility.
- Renovations to the gymnasium flooring at Bright Beginnings Learning Center, providing students with an improved space for physical education and recreation.
- Replacement of the roof at the Center for Lifelong Learning in Sayreville, ensuring the integrity and longevity of the facility.
- Repairs to the duct socks at the Aquatics and Fitness Center, enhancing air quality and comfort for all facility users.
- Significant progress in enhancing security systems and security staffing across ESCNJ campuses to provide the safest possible learning environments.
In addition to these projects, I remain committed to ensuring that our campuses reflect the pride we have in our schools and programs.We have paid close attention to the upkeep of our grounds and building exteriors, as well as the proper storage and utilization of space, to ensure that our campuses look beautiful and function efficiently for our students, staff, and community.
As we embark on the year ahead, I want to thank each and every member of the ESCNJ community teachers, aides, therapists, support staff, administrators, and service providers for your tireless dedication. The work you do each day has a lasting impact on the students and families we serve, and it is truly appreciated.
I look forward to a successful and fulfilling year together.
Warm regards,
Nadia Romano
Superintendent of Schools
