About Teach NJ
All children deserve access to a secure and quality general education funded by the state. This state funding will help alleviate the out-of-pocket costs of parents facing the burden of paying tuition and taxes. By voting, mobilizing a network of hundreds of schools, engaging with elected officials, and mobilizing students, parents and community members to speak up in Trenton, Teach NJ is able to fight for fair government funding for our yeshivas and Jewish day schools.
