A meeting about the question will be held this week.
On Wednesday night, Hoboken's parents are invited to partake in an information session about the future of the school system. At 7 p.m., Superintendent Dr. Mark Toback will answer questions at the High School auditorium.

"We can’t completely absorb that kind of loss." New Jersey could lose nearly $12 million in funding for primary and secondary education if Congress fails to halt the “sequestration” by Friday, …

The district will be welcoming its largest kindergarten class in years for the 2012-2013 school year, said Superintendent of Schools Dr. Mark Toback on Tuesday morning. While usually there were 10 classes, this year there will be 14 kindergarten classes at the beginning of the school year. Two more sections were added recently, Toback said, on top of two extra people already hired to manage the increased enrollment. For many years, there were 10 kindergarten classes and at the end of school years the amount of students would drop, Toback said. Recently, however, the opposite has been true.
