Government

[edit]

Local government

[edit]

Maywood is governed under the borough form of New Jersey municipal government, which is used in 218 municipalities (of the 564) statewide, making it the most common form of government in New Jersey.[47] The governing body is comprised of a mayor and a borough council, with all positions elected at-large on a partisan basis as part of the November general election. A mayor is elected directly by the voters to a four-year term of office. The borough council includes six members elected to serve three-year terms on a staggered basis, with two seats coming up for election each year in a three-year cycle.[7] The borough form of government used by Maywood is a "weak mayor / strong council" government in which council members act as the legislative body with the mayor presiding at meetings and voting only in the event of a tie. The mayor can veto ordinances subject to an override by a two-thirds majority vote of the council. The mayor makes committee and liaison assignments for council members, and most appointments are made by the mayor with the advice and consent of the council.[48][49]

As of 2023, the mayor of Maywood is Democrat Richard Bolan, serving a term of office ending December 31, 2023. Members of the Borough Council are Council President Jacqueline S. DeMuro (D, 2025), Danyel Cicarelli (R, 2024), Samuel Conoscenti (R, 2024), Jacqueline Flynn (D, 2025), Louis D. Roer (D, 2023) and Ryan P. Ullman (D, 2023).[3][50][51][52][53][54][55]

In January 2020, Douglas Herrick was appointed to fill an unexpired term ending in December 2021 that had been held by Richard Bolan until he resigned from his council seat to assume the mayoralty.[56] Louis Roer was also appointed to fill an unexpired term ending in December 2020.

The Maywood Public Schools serve students in pre-kindergarten through eighth grade.[102] As of the 2021–22 school year, the district, comprised of two schools, had an enrollment of 934 students and 82.0 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 11.4:1.[103] Schools in the district (with 2021–22 enrollment from the National Center for Education Statistics[104]) are Memorial School[105] with 413 students in grades PreK-3 and Maywood Avenue School[106] with 515 students in grades 4-8.[107][108][109]

The district offers a wide variety of after school activities ranging from cheerleading to chess club, and where all students have the opportunity to contribute to their school newspaper, The Hawk (Grades 6–8), and the school's new newspaper, The Mini Hawk (Grades 4 and 5), and eighth graders may assist with their yearbook. For the 1996–1997 school year, Memorial School was formally recognized with the National Blue Ribbon School Award of Excellence, the highest honor that an American school can achieve.[110]

For many years, after graduating from Maywood Avenue School, students in public school for ninth through twelfth grades had attended Hackensack High School in Hackensack, as part of a sending/receiving relationship with the Hackensack Public Schools, together with students from Rochelle Park and South Hackensack. Before that, they had been a sending district to Bogota High School. In March 2020, the district received approval from the New Jersey Department of Education to end the relationship it had established with Hackensack in 1969 and will begin transitioning incoming ninth graders to Henry P. Becton Regional High School, which serves students from Carlstadt and East Rutherford, beginning in the 2020–2021 school year.

Public school students from the borough, and all of Bergen County, are eligible to attend the secondary education programs offered by the Bergen County Technical Schools, which include the Bergen County Academies in Hackensack, and the Bergen Tech campus in Teterboro or Paramus. The district offers programs on a shared-time or full-time basis, with admission based on a selective application process and tuition covered by the student's home school district.[114][115]

After the Maywood First Aid and Emergency Squad closed in 2017, the borough sought to identify a provider to provide alternate coverage.[117] Residents receive emergency medical services under a contractual agreement with Hackensack University Medical Center.
