One thought on “How did the Jersey City Board of Education Spend Over $8 million in CARES Act Money?”

  1. if the teachers are vaccinated and they spent Over $8 million. Why Jersey city schools are not open? and how we know the school will open in Sepetember? and why schools are open in other town full time in person but not JC.
