By Bayonne Local Bot
According to state projections Bayonne will once again be one of the most underfunded school districts in the state. Governor Christie’s Office released the projected numbers for school funding this week. Per student, Bayonne remains one of the lowest recipients of aid in the state. Mayor Davis vowed to bring more funding to the district when he ran for Mayor in 2014. 2016’s increase will be one of the lowest in recent history.
