Jersey City school reopening delay unacceptable | Jersey Journal editorial Updated 6:58 AM; to have some children return to classes in school buildings starting next week. With two months left on the academic calendar for public schools, the Jersey City district’s decision to stay completely remote this school year is unacceptable. Millions of dollars have been spent to upgrade facilities in the face of the pandemic. Teachers – whether they live in or outside of Hudson County – have been prioritized for vaccines in Jersey City. Many, many parents have told the district their children are not getting the education they deserve and need.
