I was never very interested in STEM-type classes, which explains how I landed in radio, but he was always able to make science fun and interesting for the whole class.

4 New Jersey Counties Are Making Big Cuts To Their Staff

Hazlet Township School District, Matawan Aberdeen Regional, Red Bank Regional, and Upper Township School District are making a total of 62 cuts to staff according to NJ.com.

Apparently, these cuts are part of a new budget that is affecting some school districts much differently than others.

Some schools are being more funded, and others are having to make cuts.

Other schools have had to make recent cuts as well says NJ.com.

FreeholdRegional has had to lay off 39 teachers and staff, Asbury Park School District is cutting roughly 27 teaching jobs and staff, and South Orange Maplewood is cutting 28 positions.

It's incredibly frustrating to hear things like this, if there's any job that should be paid more, it's teachers.

They do so much for our communities and it always seems like they are some of the first jobs to get cut when budgets get tight.

That all being said, Jersey is still a fantastic place for you to raise your family.
