The Mount Laurel Leaflet

Dear Mount Laurel Families,

I want to officially introduce myself and welcome you to the 2026-2027 school year. Please know that as I type this message, I am filled with gratitude and excitement for what lies ahead for our students, staff, families, and community.

Throughout the interview process, I was inspired by the alignment between the Board of Education's Vision and my own personal values. The overarching themes of partnering with families and the community, focusing on academic success for all children, and the belief in belonging and opportunity truly resonated with me. I am honored and humbled to be Superintendent of the Mount Laurel Schools!

For those I have not had the pleasure of meeting, I began my career teaching in Pennsylvania and have worked in multiple roles in the Cherry Hill School District during the past 24 years. I have also been a Marlton resident for the past 22 years. As both an educator and neighbor, I have been able to witness firsthand the outstanding work that has occurred in the Mount Laurel School District.

Though this is only the end of my third week, my time here has been anything but quiet. I have been busy visiting our schools and buildings and meeting as many faculty and staff as possible. I have also spent time observing our Extended School Year Program and our summer camps being held. I have been impressed with the targeted professional development and curriculum writing that has been occurring. Finally, I have been made aware of the many projects going on around the district to improve facilities for our students and staff. Some of these projects include: Phase 3 of the roof project at Larchmont, playground upgrades, and painting, carpet, and tile updates.

These summer undertakings represent important investments that directly benefit our children and the learning experiences we strive to provide. On behalf of our entire community, I thank our Board of Education for their stewardship and dedication to our mission and their willingness to make these positive changes.

Finally, I’d like to offer a message to our amazing students. We are so excited to see you! Every hallway, every classroom, every bus, every field, and every stage is waiting for your energy, your curiosity, and your spirit. You are the reason we do this work, and we can’t wait to watch you learn, grow, and accomplish amazing things this year.

Thank you, and welcome back to another great year in Mount Laurel Schools!

Dr. Neil Burti, Jr.
