The Millburn School District's Security Department is dedicated to providing for the safety and security of all staff and students. To that end, during the 2023-2024 School Year school safety officers have been assigned to each of our 8 school buildings, with the Director of Security, Michael Palardy, overseeing these district employees. This step is in addition to a multitude of enhancements and strengthening of our security procedures and builing upgrades over the last few years, including the addition of security vestibules to all of our schools, camera monitoring and limiting the numbers of visitors during the school day.

The officers are active members of the school community. Please reach out to us with your questions and concerns at any time.
