Hudson County Schools of Technology has approved a $84M budget for 2026-2027, marking a 13.5M increase in the county tax levy, totaling $56M.

Non-teaching costs have been reduced, with adult high school expenses cut in half and operations and maintenance trimmed by $2M each. County leaders emphasize this is a one-time solution to plug a $3.6M operating deficit.

Additionally, $1.5M has been allocated for school upgrades and a $3.7M levy boost for this years budget.
