Af fudud

New Jersey educates its deaf and hard of hearing students in many places at once. The state runs one school for the deaf, the Marie H. Katzenbach School in West Trenton, founded in 1883, which enrolled 94 students in the 2024-25 school year, is budgeted for fewer than ninety after that and, according to the Governor's budget, ended its residential program in 2026 even though the school's web pages still describe one. Four other programs share the state's designation as regional centers: the Bergen County Special Services continuum in Paramus, the Gloucester County Special Services programs in Sewell, and the Lake Drive School in Mountain Lakes, which opened in 1969 as a day alternative to the state school.

Beyond them, the Department of Education lists classroom programs in about a dozen districts, from Newark's Bruce Street School, open since 1910, to a high school program in Berkeley Heights and a vocational program in Passaic County, plus three private schools and several itinerant services that send teachers of the deaf into ordinary schools. In the 2024-25 school year the state counted 1,311 students aged five to twenty-one with an auditory impairment classification and 19 who are deafblind; almost half were in general education classes most of the day. We read the website of every one of the 696 public school units in the state.

Twenty-two publish a program or named deaf education staff, about seventy mention deaf or hard of hearing students only in a screening schedule, an eligibility list or a link to a state document, and the rest publish nothing on the subject. Where a district says nothing, its deaf students are still counted and still served somewhere; the state's own figures simply do not show where.
