Trenton Left Out of Tutoring Grant

Trenton’s students are left behind as New Jersey’s tutoring grant misses the mark—despite proven success in Louisiana and Mississippi, the state’s toughest district got zero funding this round, even though it received over $700K last year and had to return nearly $550K. Senator Shirley Turner warns that without resources, kids can’t succeed, while education experts stress that high-quality, small-group tutoring is a proven game-changer—especially for districts like Trenton, where just 8% of third graders read at grade level and only 12% are math proficient. A proposed $15M expansion could help nearly 100 more districts, but for now, Trenton’s silence on the funding list raises urgent questions about equity, application errors, or systemic neglect.
