Four of the top five stories in the more than 500 stories in VeniVidiScripto during 2025 dealt with teacher dissatisfaction, loss of teachers, higher salaries for school administrators and general discontent with the Henry Hudson Regional School District.
The story most read in VeniVidiScripto in the past year was posted in April and titled “Teachers are running for the doors,” with the story citing some of the fears and concerns expressed by many Atlantic Highlands parents at a board of education meeting. Parents called for an examination by outside resources of the leadership at the PreK-12 school district.
While no one spoke during a public hearing before the board unanimously approved a $19.5 million budget for the approximate 700 student district, parents spoke at the end of the meeting to issue a variety of concerns ranging from lack of communication to serious concern over the sudden absence of one specific teacher.

The second, third and fifth most popular stories during the past 12 months also dealt with dissatisfaction at Henry Hudson, with a story in May, “Fear and loathing at Henry Hudson” second only to the teacher dissatisfaction story. In March, a story on Atlantic Highlands failing to put the question of regionalization with Sea Bright on a non-binding ballot similar to action already taken in Highlands and Sea Bright also drew thousands of readers, while a June story, “Survey says Henry Hudson not the place” concerned the Education Association’s Climate Survey summary that shows 44 per cent of the educational staff at Henry Hudson considered leaving the district .
Only a story in October when a procession of vehicles and residents from throughout New Jersey came to the Yacht Harbor to memorialize the late Charlie Kirk of Turning Point USA prevented stories on Henry Hudson Regional from being the top five most read of the more than 2,000 stories read by close to one million readers.
