Reply to comment by The_Nomadic_Nerd in Corrupted Jersey City Property Taxes by NTend7777

I have no idea how they got elected? It blows my mind that $33k per child is not enough for this administration

What !! is it really that much??? It can't be

so for a class of 20 that $660,000 lets say there are 8 classes of 20 for a "group that they break them into " that requires 9 teachers ..lets say 10 teachers plus 2 admins per group all costing 200k including benefits. That 2million . Leaving 3.28 million per group. Most grades have multiple groups.

​

No taxes on city own buildings - littler over a million a year in maintenance needed per building that that's a sample size of 160 students and there are far more then that per grade. let say 1.28 in maintenance fees and greenkeeping .

Leaving 2 million - take into account security and other admins and where the hell does the rest of that go if the building , programs and staff is paid for with that already.

​

I understand there is construction cost and student program cost like sports and such .

I would love to see an indepth look at their budget and see where all the money is going. Isnt a large part of the new construction city funded from separate pot?

​

If that number is true that is nuts.

Sorry i was wrong, it's $38,280 per child.

$976M BOE budget and 25496 JC students.

Talk about corruption

Can any of you geniuses tell me where that number comes from. Not where you read it, but how that number is arrived at?

Are you suggesting the two numbers I provided are incorrect or that you don't know simple math?

It’s more students than that since charter schools are not included in the totals. For charters, they educate students at about $17,000 per capita. A good thing when compared to Jersey City schools.

Even if you add the 6000 charter school students, the average cost is still ridiculous

these numbers are meaningless without context of all your deductions.

Your asking for context but then just throwing numbers out as a point with no context .

What point are you trying to make there?
