The City Of Hackensack

Statement from the City of Hackensack Regarding School District Budgetary Shortfall

The news of the school district’s budgetary shortfall is understandably unsettling, and the City shares the concern felt throughout Hackensack. While this is a difficult moment, we remain confident in our community’s resilience as we collectively navigate the path ahead.

As the Board of Education pursues litigation against former administrators and vendors for an alleged conspiracy to defraud the district, we stand firm in the belief that our residents deserve clear answers and full accountability.

The future of Hackensack is inextricably linked to the stability of our schools. The City is committed to working with the district in a way that best supports the shared interests of our children, families, and taxpayers.
