El alcalde Ravi Bhalla y la superintendente del distrito escolar público de Hoboken, la doctora Christine Johnson, anunciaron hoy un nuevo acuerdo de arrendamiento que proporcionará espacio adicional para el distrito escolar público del Hoboken en el Centro Jubileo.

The five-year lease permits the district to use all three floors of the Jubilee Center for early childhood education. The space will be allocated to four Head Start preschool classrooms for 60 children in the Pre-K3 and Pre-K4 programs.

“Con más familias que eligen quedarse en Hoboken, esta habitación adicional en el Jubilee Center proporcionará el espacio muy necesario para nuestros niños en Pre-K”, dijo el alcalde Bhalla. “En lugar de vender el centro a los desarrolladores, me alegro de que en su lugar se utilice bien para apoyar el programa de educación infantil del distrito”.

“I am very excited for the district to utilize the Jubilee Center for four of our Head Start classes,” said Dr. Johnson. “This allows us to free up space in our elementary schools and offer preschool programming in a wonderful location.”

“La junta está encantada de asociarse con la Ciudad para alquilar espacio de clase preescolar en el Centro Jubileo para nuestros estudiantes más jóvenes”, dijo Sharyn Angley, presidenta de la Junta de Educación de Hoboken. “A medida que la inscripción en los distritos continúa creciendo, el espacio es de la mayor preocupación.

Last year, the City purchased the Jubilee Center for $3 million, preventing the building from being sold to a developer and the elimination of a crucial community space following Hoboken City Council authorization in 2021. Acquisition was paid for at no impact to the municipal budget, utilizing federal funding through the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Section 108 Loan Guarantee Program.

In March, nonprofit TRUE Mentors moved into the first and third floors of the Jubilee Center to provide free one-on-one, group, and educational mentoring programs to Hudson County youth between the ages of 7- and 18-years-old.

Under the terms of the lease agreement, the Hoboken Public School District will use all three floors of the Jubilee Center from 7 a.m. until 4 p.m. while TRUE Mentors will continue to use the facility from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. until June 30. Starting in September, the district will have access from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.

El Ayuntamiento de Hoboken aprobó una ordenanza autorizando el contrato de arrendamiento el miércoles 4 de mayo, por un voto de 8-0-1. El concejal Michael DeFusco estuvo ausente. Los concejales Phil Cohen y Jim Doyle patrocinaron la ordenanza.
