The proposed 2026–2027 Hoboken School District budget is: $102,341,594. This works out to @ $280,388 per day from July 1, 2026 to June 30, 2027. Using 2026-27 ASSA enrollment data (2870 students), this comes to approximately $31,000* per enrolled K-12 student.
*The tax levy / K-12 ASSA enrollment = $31,800 per K-12 student
It’s remarkable that some people continue to fully support a Board that never held a superintendent accountable after the public was misled for nearly a decade about having earned a doctorate; that paid a questionable organization to award multiple “Blue Ribbon” distinctions to district schools; that attempted to advance a $330 million bond proposal during the holiday season; that repeatedly cites “exploding” enrollment while refusing to sunset a CHOICE program that consumes the equivalent capacity of roughly ten classrooms of students each year; and that pursued litigation against Hola for more than three years, losing multiple rulings yet continuing to appeal until the Supreme Court of New Jersey finally brought the matter to a close.
Incredible, but true.
