Jersey City school board adopts $814.1 million budget
Average homeowners to pay an estimated $993 in school taxes ×
Jersey City Board of Education President Mussab Ali said the district expects to receive roughly $90 million in federal relief aid.
With a 6-3 vote the Jersey City Board of Education has adopted its final $814.1 million budget for the 2021-2022 academic year.
The budget represents a roughly $77.5 million increase from last year’s budget.
According to Business Administrator Regina Robinson, these funds would come from dwindling state aid, federal aid, the payroll tax – which the district assumed would be $86 million this year instead of the certified $65 million – and a roughly 47 percent increase in the local school tax levy.

The Jersey City Board of Education approved a fully funded $814,051,708 budget for the 2021-2022 scholastic year at an uncharacteristically brief meeting last night that lasted just over an hour.
There were just three speakers, all of whom are a part of Jersey City Together, during the public portion: Dr. Jyl Josephson, Nancy Pokler, and Brigid D’Souza. As they did last week, they all implored the board to vote for a fully-funded budget.
The spending plan, which narrowly passed on first reading back in March, comes with a $278,019,494 local tax levy – which includes a bank cap of $85,000,000 – and an annual tax increase of approximately $996 per homeowner with an assessed value of about $460,000.
Jersey City school district is preparing for a reopening. When can it happen? That’s the question
Updated Jan 31, 2021;
The Jersey City school district is working to get schools ready for an eventual reopening, but whether that happens before the end of the school year remains to be seen.
The district released a 330-page document on “Building Readiness,” detailing the actions taken and the costs of getting schools in shape to safely bring back students, who have been learning remotely since March 2020.
The document includes lists of the cleaning supplies and personal protective equipment the schools have on hand, air duct cleaning certificates, the results of indoor air quality tests completed by the Hudson Regional Health Commission, among other measures being taken.
