Superintendent Franklin Walker stated in the public JCBOE board meeting today that information about the AEP program application for 2021-2022 will be made available to school administrators this week, and information will be made available to parents on Thursday, April 22, 2021.
JCBOE has spent $8 million of nearly $11 million in CARES ACT money, according to CARES Act spending data disclosed at a recent public board meeting. How was it allocated? Here are some of the largest line items:
JerseyCityEd is looking for student volunteers in Grades 8-11 to help develop our website to provide more information about public schools 🏫 , private schools, classes, sports ⚽️ , and other educational opportunities in Jersey City. If you have a child in high school or going into high school who is looking for a way to volunteer, this opportunity could be a great way to get involved in the community!
The volunteers would be asked to gather information from friends, teachers, parents, administrators, and business owners. The volunteers could choose from writing ✍️ posts/pages, creating videos 🎥 , taking photos 📸 , distributing surveys ✅ , managing social media, hosting events, attending school board meetings, and more.
Great way to “volunteer from home” and even get some valuable experience with real life work that could make an impact and look great on college applications. The ideal candidate would be self-motivated, interested in education, comfortable with writing. A student could even pair up with a friend and join our team together!
