Last night at 6pm, inside Martin Luther King, Jr. (PS 11) school on Bergen Avenue, three new members of Jersey City’s Board of Education (“BOE”) and one incumbent member were sworn into office. The Board of Education is the governing body over the City’s 35+ public schools, which serve more than 28,000 students each year on an annual budget that exceeds $660 million.

The swearing in of these four BOE members is an opportunity to pause, reflect upon, and celebrate some of the highlights from the past calendar year. I culled the achievements listed below from the district’s Facebook page, and when available also provided links to local press reports.

So without further ado, let’s celebrate….

Behind these many achievements are teachers, administrators, support staff, parents, and most of all, kids who dare to try their best and reach for the stars. As the parent of a young child attending a Jersey City public school, I am grateful that these wonderful examples of excellence not only exist, but are cultivated on a daily basis within our public schools.
