Back to School: A TOP 10 ABBOTT SCHOOL DISTRICT

Back to School: A TOP 10 ABBOTT SCHOOL DISTRICT

It is always nice to see New Jersey make top 10 lists. New Jersey has appeared on lists of the most taxed states, states with the highest unemployment and those with the greatest migration out of the state. Well now a New Jersey city has made a top 10 list and you are not going to believe what for.

If you are even just a casual reader of Conservative New Jersey you would have heard about the infamous Abbott School Districts. The 31 Abbott School districts have been identified as “poorer urban” or “special needs” districts. Because of this designation, the districts are entitled to the bulk of the funding that New Jersey spends on public education each year.

Now would like to hear a little secret about one of these Abbott School Districts? I thought you would. One district Hoboken has made a very exclusive top ten list, Top-Earning Towns in America.

In fiscal year 2013, an estimated $4.4 billion of a total of $7.7 billion (56.3%) in State aid will go to the 31 former- Abbott districts (which represent just over 5% of New Jersey’s nearly 600 districts).
