A Call for Transparency

Hillsborough Township Public Schools recently cut 50+ staff positions. The district’s budget shortfall can be blamed on many things, but it cannot and should not be blamed on our children, our school staff or our community. The Board has been questioned how monies were being budgeted, as well as its ability to transfer surplus to reinstate jobs and protect our students' educations, but any further request for specifics has been ignored.
These decisions leave Hillsborough's students shortchanged and our district forever impacted. For years, Hillsborough has prided itself on providing an excellent education for our children, and our schools are a vital reason why our community is consistently named among the best places to live. It's time for honest conversation and total transparency to ensure Hillsborough’s schools remain among the best in the state. Our children, our schools and our community deserve nothing less.
