The New Jersey Chamber of Commerce congratulates our state’s public school teachers, administrators and support staffs after a report published in Education Week yesterday ranked our public schools number one in the nation for the second year in a row.
This is an opportune time to thank everyone in our educational system who continue to rise to the challenge of teaching our children during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The New Jersey Chamber is especially proud of the contributions made to education by the New Jersey Chamber of Commerce Foundation. Its support of workforce readiness programs such as Jobs for America’s Graduates (JAG) here in New Jersey has been recognized as exemplary.
Quality schools are a powerful recruiting tool for bringing new businesses and economic growth to New Jersey.
To maintain the excellence of our schools and ensure all of our citizens have access to a quality education, we need a strong and growing state economy.
That starts with a strategic reopening of businesses across the state and crafting a fiscally responsible state budget that stimulates economic growth.
