Board of Education President Mussab Ali said early on at the roughly hour-long session that the district will have $250 million cut over the next three years before Mayor Steven Fulop gave his two cents on the matter.
“I think we all share in a common goal recognizing that fixing the school problem here in Jersey City is crucial to the future of our city, and educating the next generation, and making sure we stay a vibrant and attractive city for future generations,” Fulop began.

The timing could not be worse, not that there’s ever a good time for an $1,100 tax increase.
Jersey City Superintendent of Schools Franklin Walker presented an $827.4 million budget for the 2021-22 school year to Board of Education members Monday night, a 9% increase over last year. The enormous budget carries a $1,168 tax increase for average property owners, double the tax increase placed upon homeowners last year.

The school district’s current spending plan is anticipating a $153 million shortfall, which called for a $100 tax levy: which officials projected will cost households about $1,168 a year or $97 a month in tax increases.
“Yes, it seems excessive, but we’re making up for what we were doing in the past … There’s no time like the present,” stated Superintendent of Schools Franklin Walker, who sounded optimistic that additional revenue streams may become available prior to the vote on the final budget in April.
