Even though the Jersey City school district had been hit hard by six years of cuts in state aid, Thursday’s announcement of funding for districts across New Jersey was another blow.
The proposed cut of $51.1 million from aid for the 2023-24 school year is the largest reduction in aid in the state and comes after cuts of more than $68 million were made for the current school year. Union City’s appropriation is $93 million higher than the district’s proposed aid of $133.6 million.
Union City, Bayonne, and Kearny were some of the most prosperous municipalities in Hudson County, each accruing increases of over $12 million from the previous year. The current amount of Bayonne’s aid is $109 million, an increase of $16.7 million from last year. The amount given to Kearny grew by $12.3 million, and the amount given to Union City grew by $12.8 million.
