Mount Olive Township School District

The Mount Olive Township School District is a comprehensive community public school district that serves students in pre-kindergarten through twelfth grade from Mount Olive Township, in Morris County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey.

As of the 2021–22 school year, the district, composed of six schools, had an enrollment of 4,583 students and 405.0 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 11.3:1.

The district is classified by the New Jersey Department of Education as being in District Factor Group "GH", the third-highest of eight groupings. District Factor Groups organize districts statewide to allow comparison by common socioeconomic characteristics of the local districts. From lowest socioeconomic status to highest, the categories are A, B, CD, DE, FG, GH, I and J.

In 2010, the district eliminated D as a passing grade for its middle- and high-schoolers. The district also instituted a rule requiring anyone who earned a D or an F in a course to retake that course.

Robert Zywicki, who had served as superintendent since 2018, resigned in April 2023, citing claims that he had been "constructively discharged" from his position when he had been placed on paid leave in October 2022 due to the "grudges" of board members.

Board of education
The district's board of education, comprised of nine members, sets policy and oversees the fiscal and educational operation of the district through its administration. As a Type II school district, the board's trustees are elected directly by voters to serve three-year terms of office on a staggered basis, with three seats up for election each year held (since 2012) as part of the November general election. The board appoints a superintendent to oversee the district's day-to-day operations and a business administrator to supervise the business functions of the district.
