Tell Hoboken Schools What You Think: District Schedules 8 Community Roundtables

HOBOKEN, NJ — Want to give your thoughts on the Hoboken school district and learn a little more about it?

In the wake of an unsuccessful $241 million referendum in January to build a new high school and make changes to the other buildings in the district, the public schools have scheduled virtual and in-person "roundtables" with community members.

The district held several meetings already with parents, and now they are looking to talk to anyone else in the community who's interested.

The roundtables have included a presentation, and then discussion.

Residents can sign up for any of these meetings on the Google form below.

Note that each date has both an in-person meeting at Hoboken High School and a virtual meeting.

Dates For School/Community Roundtables (virtual and in person)

• June 21: Virtual at 1 p.m., in person at Hoboken High School, 6 p.m.

"The Hoboken Public School District is hosting six Roundtable Discussions for district families and eight Roundtable Discussions for the community-at-large," the form notes. "The purpose of these Roundtable Discussions is to provide valuable information and to answer questions about the budget, enrollment, current facilities, and programs and accomplishments ... A Zoom link will be sent to those that register for virtual sessions. Thank you in advance for your time and interest in our school district."
