Manchester Township was incorporated as a township by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on April 6, 1865, from portions of Dover Township (now Toms River Township). Portions of the township were taken to form Lakehurst on April 7, 1921.[21] The township was named by William Torrey for Manchester, England.[22][23]

Government

Local government

Manchester Township is governed within the Faulkner Act, formally known as the Optional Municipal Charter Law, under the Mayor-Council (Plan 6) system of municipal government, as enacted by direct petition as of July 1, 1990.[53] The Township is governed by a Mayor and a five-member Township Council. The mayor is elected directly by the voters to a four-year term. Councilmembers are elected at-large on a non-partisan basis to serve four-year staggered terms with either two or three council seats up for election in even-numbered years, with the mayoral seat up for vote at the same time that two council seats are up for vote.[3] The township's municipal elections were shifted from May to November, with estimates of savings of $50,000 each election cycle and greater voter participation cited as justifications.[54][55] A referendum on the ballot in November 2011 to shift the election date passed by a margin of 5,875 to 3,429.[56]

As of 2020, the Mayor of Manchester Township is Ken Palmer, whose term of office ends on December 31, 2022.[4] Members of the Township Council are Council President Samuel F. Fusaro Jr. (2020), Council Vice President James A. Vaccaro Sr. (2020), Joan Brush (2022), Robert A. Hudak (2020; elected to serve an unexpired term) and Craig Wallis (2022).[57][58][59][60][61][62][63]

In May 2019, the Township Council appointed Robert Hudak to fill the seat expiring in December 20020 that had been held by Charles Frattini Sr. until he resigned from office the previous month.[64] In November 2019, Hudak was elected to serve the balance of the term of office.[61]

In March 2017, Joan Brush was selected by the township council to fill the seat expiring in 2018 that had been held by Brendan Weiner, who was moving out of the township; Brush will serve on an interim basis until the November 2017 general election, when voters will select a candidate to serve the balance of the term.[65]

In 2018, the township had an average property tax bill of $4,093, the lowest in the county, compared to an average bill of $6,313 in Ocean County and $8,767 statewide.[66][67]

Holzapfel (R, Toms River) and in the General Assembly by John Catalano (R, Brick Township) and Gregory P. McGuckin (R, Toms River).[77][78]

Ocean County is governed by a Board of Chosen Freeholders consisting of five members, elected on an at-large basis in partisan elections and serving staggered three-year terms of office, with either one or two seats coming up for election each year as part of the November general election.[79] At an annual reorganization held in the beginning of January, the board chooses a Director and a Deputy Director from among its members. As of 2019, Ocean County's Freeholders (with party affiliation, term-end year, residence and department directorship listed in parentheses) are Freeholder Director Virginia E. Haines (R, 2019, Toms River; Parks and Recreation and Natural Lands),[80] Freeholder Deputy Director John P. Kelly (R, 2019, Eagleswood Township; Law and Public Safety),[81] Gerry P. Little (R, 2021, Surf City; Roads),[82] Gary Quinn (R, 2021, Lacey Township; Human Services and Transportation)[83] and Joseph H.

Colabella (R, 2019, Barnegat Light),[87][88] Sheriff Michael Mastronardy (R, 2019; Toms River)[89] and Surrogate Jeffrey Moran (R, 2023, Beachwood).[90][91]

The Manchester Township School District serves students in pre-kindergarten through twelfth grade. As of the 2018–19 school year, the district, comprising six schools, had an enrollment of 2,952 students and 275.9 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 10.7:1.[101] Schools in the district (with 2018–19 enrollment data from the National Center for Education Statistics[102]) are Manchester Township Elementary School[103] (549 students; in grades K-5), Ridgeway Elementary School[104] (430; K-5), Whiting Elementary School[105] (249; K-5), Manchester Township Middle School[106] (675; 6-8), Manchester Township High School[107] (1,006; 9-12) and Regional Day School[108] (68 students in PreK-12), serves low incidence handicapped children.[109][110] Students from neighboring Lakehurst attend the district's high school as part of a sending/receiving relationship with the Lakehurst School District.[111] As of 2012, Lakehurst has been considering the possibility of sending its students to Jackson Liberty High School, as part of a prospective agreement with the Jackson School District under which students would gain access to a broader range of academic programs and which could result in annual savings of $400,000 per year off of the $2 million that the Lakehurst district spends annually for the 150 students it sends to the Manchester district.[112][113]

St. Mary Academy in Manahawkin, a K-8 school of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Trenton, is in the area. From 1997,[114] until 2019 it operated as All Saints Regional Catholic School and was collectively managed by five churches,[115] with one being St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Church in Whiting.[114] In 2019 St. Mary Church in Barnegat took entire control of the school, which remained on the same Manahawkin campus, and changed its name. The other churches no longer operate the school but still may send students there.[115]
